On Tuesday, September 16th, Day 711 of the Israeli genocide against the entire population of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, the Israeli military continued its relentless assault on the people of Gaza City, raining down missiles on homes and refugee tents, killing 108 and wounding hundreds.
Relentless air and ground attacks have destroyed homes, targeted displacement shelters, and created conditions of mass forced displacement. Civilians face mounting pressure to flee, despite the absence of secure refuge.
Update 11:59 pm:
Medical sources announced that the death toll on Tuesday has risen to 108, including 93 in the northern Gaza Strip, 9 in the central Gaza Strip, and 6 in the southern Gaza Strip.
64 bodies were taken to at Al-Shifa Hospital, 24 to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, 5 to Al-Quds Hospital, 3 to Al-Awda Hospital, 6 to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and 6 to Nasser Hospital.
On Tuesday evening, the Israeli military hit the Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital three times in close succession.
Dr. Muneer Al Bursh reports that Al-Rantisi Specialized Children’s Hospital in Gaza was struck three times in rapid succession, leaving 80 patients trapped across its departments, including four in pediatric intensive care and eight newborns in neonatal care.
As Gaza’s only specialized hospital, Al-Rantisi houses irreplaceable units, including oncology, dialysis, and specialized respiratory and gastrointestinal care.
The bombing forced 40 patients to flee under fire, while 40 others remained inside with their companions, alongside four critical care cases, eight fragile newborns, and 30 medical staff.
The hospital, once a sanctuary of healing, has been turned into a scene of chaos, where patients’ breaths mix with the roar of explosions and mothers’ cries with the whistling of rockets. Humanitarian organizations urgently call on the world and the United Nations to protect medical personnel and patients and to halt repeated attacks on health facilities.
Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, described the dire conditions facing premature infants in the city’s neonatal units, where six babies are being kept in a single incubator.
He warned that there is no capacity to accommodate them elsewhere in the Strip and stressed the real danger to their lives.
Abu Salmiya cautioned that without urgent protection for hospitals and medical staff, along with the provision of essential medicines and supplies, these infants and many others are at imminent risk of death.
