The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has announced that two of its employees, Ibrahim Eid and Ahmad Abu Hilal, were killed in an Israeli strike on their residence in Khan Younis yesterday.

According to a statement from the ICRC's mission in "Israel", the West Bank, and Gaza, Eid worked as a weapon contamination officer, while Abu Hilal was a security guard at the Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah.

“We extend our profound condolences to their families, friends, and colleagues. Their loss leaves a deep hole in our hearts,” the statement continued.

📍 Gaza | We are devastated by the death of two dear colleagues, Ibrahim Eid and Ahmad Abu Hilal.

Today, once again, we reiterate our urgent call for the respect and protection of civilians in Gaza.

Our profound condolences go out to their family, friends, and colleagues. pic.twitter.com/QOXOOK12wL

94% of Gaza hospitals damaged, destroyed; WHO warns of total collapse

Israeli raids have targeted at least ten hospitals and clinics in the Gaza Strip in the previous week, prompting full or partial service shutdowns and overloading the remaining health-care facilities, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

The attack on the European Hospital in Khan Younis signaled the beginning of "Israel's" escalated ground assault. 

"These strikes severely increased pressure on Gaza's collapsing health system," it said, quoting the Gaza Health Ministry, which said that 400,000 Palestinians are now without access to medical care.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 28 attacks on hospitals in the Strip last week, accounting for 4% of all hospital attacks since the onslaught began.

"Military assaults in Gaza are pushing the health system to collapse," the WHO said on X, stressing that 94% of hospitals had been severely damaged or destroyed.

Only 19 of the 36 hospitals in Gaza are at least partially operating, it stated, emphasizing that "hospitals must never be militarized or targeted."
