Israeli forces carried out an attack on Monday at Nasser Hospital, located in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of at least 20 people, including five journalists. This attack adds to a tragic toll of nearly 280 journalists who have been killed since the start of the Israeli military offensive on October 7, following Hamas’s attacks in southern Israel. The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 61,000, an alarming situation that has prompted condemnation and an urgent call for international action.
Philippe Lazzarini, the general commissioner of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), has expressed deep concern over the killing of journalists and the lack of attention given to the ongoing humanitarian tragedy, especially regarding the suffering of children facing increasing famine. Through his social media, Lazzarini highlighted that “the last voices reporting on the suffering of those who cannot speak are being silenced.”
Reports indicate that Israel carried out two attacks on Nasser Hospital, with the latest resulting in more casualties among rescuers and doctors who rushed to aid the wounded. Lazzarini quoted the American philosopher Hannah Arendt, who warned that “the death of human empathy is one of the first and most telling signs of a culture on the brink of descending into barbarism.”
The head of UNRWA emphasized that compassion must be the standard to follow in a context where the world’s indifference and inaction in the face of such atrocities seem to be normalizing. This information highlights the seriousness of the situation in Gaza, where violence and the suffering of the civilian population have reached unsustainable levels. The development of this news is being closely monitored during a critical moment for the region.
