Symbolic imageCondemnation grows after Israeli strike on Gaza hospital as cold claims first infant
An Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital killed six people, and Gaza recorded its first cold death of the winter.
Two missiles hit the hospital's Al-Yassine surgical building overnight into Thursday, 12 November. Gaza's Civil Defence reported six dead, including a surgeon and a 13-year-old boy; the UN counted 27 injured, MSF 52. The IDF says it killed a Hamas brigade commander near the hospital and that Hamas used the grounds as headquarters; the Gaza Health Ministry rejects this. Türkiye, Spain, the UN and MSF condemned the strike, and the Board of Peace urged Israel and Hamas to resume Trump's peace plan.
Cold and disease
The Gaza Health Ministry says a nine-month-old died of hypothermia on Thursday, the first cold death of the winter. The WHO reports acute respiratory infections 33,000 cases above last year.
Dispute over aid
On Thursday, 53 states and organisations urged Israel to lift aid restrictions. The IDF says over 93,000 tents have entered since winter began and blames Hamas; Telesur cites the UN saying 150,000 tents are blocked.
Other opinions
Jerusalem Post and TASS stress the IDF's Hamas claim; Telesur and Tehran Times frame the strike as part of a pattern of attacks on hospitals.
