Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza early Sunday morning hit a school and mosque that had been converted into shelters, leading to a surge in casualties at the nearby Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported that the hospital received 53 injured patients and 22 bodies of those killed in the attack on the shelters in Deir Al-Balah.
An MSF nurse, Eliza Sabatini, described the chaotic scene at the hospital, with many patients arriving in critical condition with severe injuries. The hospital, already strained, struggled to accommodate all the patients, forcing medical staff to treat people on the floor.
