Fadi Abu Rayaleh added that there were wounded individuals inside the hospital who were still alive but faced difficulties in being transferred due to the Israeli tank siege on the facility.
He pointed out that the Israeli artillery bombardment inside the hospital did not cease, but miraculously, they managed to escape, reaching Salah al-Din Street.
He emphasized that the bodies of the martyrs were scattered on the ground in front of Al-Nasr Hospital, as well as in Rantisi Hospital and Al-Ayoun Hospital.

The occupation forces, using tanks and military vehicles alongside intense aerial and artillery bombardment, besiege Al-Nasr Hospital in the western part of the Gaza Strip. The hospital accommodates a large number of displaced individuals, primarily women and children, in addition to patients and the wounded.
Al-Nasr Hospital has ceased operations and gone out of service after being targeted in the west of Gaza City, amid warnings of a humanitarian disaster.

As the war on Gaza enters its 37th day, 20 out of a total of 36 hospitals in the region are now out of service, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
With Israeli airstrikes focusing on hospitals, the Ministry of Health in Gaza has called on the United Nations to activate international resolutions and agreements related to the protection of medical institutions, healthcare providers, and legal frameworks for the protection of civilians.
Bombing of All Gaza Hospitals
Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) confirmed that hospitals in Gaza have been continuously targeted by the occupation forces, particularly Al-Shifa Hospital, which has suffered multiple hits, including its neonatal unit.
