History

The hospital was damaged by Israeli forces in 2009, during the Gaza war of 2008-2009.[2]

The hospital was damaged again as part of the 2023 Gaza war. On 11 November, fighting was reported at the hospital.[3] The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that Israeli tanks approached the hospital, and began firing upon it.[4][5] They reported that about 14,000 displaced people were sheltering inside of it at the time of the fighting.[4][5] Evangelical Christian website All Israel News reported that a Hamas battalion operating from the hospital ambushed IDF troops; saying that 21 militants were killed whereas the Israelis suffered no casualties.[6] The clash was filmed by a drone scrambled from nearby.[6]

In the early morning of 12 November, an Israeli attack hit near the hospital and damaged it.[7] Later that day, the Palestine Red Crescent Society announced that the hospital had ran out of fuel and ceased treating patients.[8][9] On 13 November, Palestine Red Crescent Society condemned allegations that Hamas was attacking from the hospital saying the video from the drone only showed them in the street outside the hospital.[10]
