Gaza Baptist Hospital/Aftermath

Published on: 19 October, 2023

More than 470 people have been killed after an Israeli air strike targets the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza on Tuesday, where thousands of civilians had been taking shelter.

It’s the most lethal attack since the start of Israel’s assault on the besieged Strip on October 7th, following an incursion by Hamas into southern Israel that killed 13-hundred people.

It’s believed thousands of civilians were inside the hospital the time of the attack — some were patients while many were – The Baptist hospital massacre sparks fury across the Middle East and beyond, with protests in more than a dozen cities – Ramallah, Amman, Tunis, Misrata, Türkiye, Beirut, Tehran, Rabat, Baghdad and in some European cities.

In Lebanon, Hezbollah calls for a day of rage against Israel.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in the Israel-Gaza war.
