At least 15 martyrs in Nasser Hospital massacre in Gaza

At Least 15 Palestinians, including four journalists, were killed after the Israeli occupation committed a massacre in Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex.

The Israeli occupation carried out a massacre at the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza on Monday, striking the facility twice and killing at least 20 Palestinians, including five journalists and members of the civil defense who were targeted in the second strike as they rushed to aid victims of the first.

Palestinians rushed to aid the wounded, carrying bloodied bodies and severed limbs into the medical complex.

According to the report, one body was seen hanging from the top floor of the targeted building as a man screamed below. Among the injured was a woman in medical scrubs and a white coat, who was rushed in on a stretcher with a heavily bandaged leg and clothes soaked in blood.

Gaza Ministry of Health condemns Nasser massacre 

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza condemned the massacre on Monday, highlighting that Nasser Hospital is the only general hospital still functioning in southern Gaza, calling it a heinous crime and part of the systematic destruction of the health system.

Before this latest attack, media advocacy groups, including the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Reporters Without Borders, reported that around 200 journalists have been killed since the beginning of the Gaza war.

The ministry said the attack reflects the continuation of genocide and a direct challenge to global humanitarian values. It issued an urgent appeal to the international community and humanitarian organizations to act immediately to protect health services and medical staff in Gaza.

The statement warned that international silence and inaction in the face of such attacks amount to complicity and grant the occupation a green light to continue committing crimes.

According to the ministry, the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression has reached 62,744 martyrs and 158,259 injuries since October 7, 2023. Between March 18, 2025, and today, the ministry documented 10,900 martyrs and 46,218 injuries.

Among the victims are Palestinians killed while seeking aid. In the past 24 hours alone, 28 people were martyred and 184 injured while attempting to collect humanitarian assistance, bringing the total to 2,123 aid martyrs and more than 15,615 injuries reported at hospitals.

Hospitals in Gaza also recorded 11 new deaths from famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including two children, raising the overall toll to 300 deaths, among them 117 children.
