Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli airstrikes on Monday hit the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza, which is the only medical facility in the besieged territory specifically designated for cancer patients.

According to the hospital's medical director, Mohammed Abu Nada, the area surrounding the hospital resembles a war zone, and the hospital faces constant threats of bombardment by "Israel".

Abu Nada appealed to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, urging him to intervene and halt the Israeli aggression against the hospital and its patients.

The director-general of hospitals in the Gaza Ministry of Health stressed that the most pressing concern currently is the continuous shelling of hospitals and their surroundings.

Gaza Mayor Yahya al-Sarraj reiterated his warning about potential disease outbreaks and epidemics due to blocked sewage systems in some hospitals.

Concurrently, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the Israeli warplanes bombed the vicinity of al-Quds Hospital, causing damage to multiple departments.

Notably, on October 17, an Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City resulted in the loss of a minimum of 500 lives, leading to extensive international and Arab condemnations.

Our correspondent added that two paramedics sustained injuries when the IOF targeted an ambulance in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Additionally, he reported that five injured individuals were transported to the Indonesian Hospital after being hit by an artillery shell in the same region.
