The evening in Gaza was anything but ordinary. As the world was winding down another day, the skies over Khan Younis split open with the fire of a missile that struck what remained of Gaza’s humanitarian spaces: the Baptist Hospital.

At dawn on Sunday, the usurping entity committed yet another massacre, bombing the Baptist Hospital in northern Gaza, rendering it completely out of service, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. The strike claimed the lives of several martyrs and injured many others, including children—in yet another crime added to a long list of attacks targeting medical facilities during the ongoing campaign of genocide in Gaza.

A statement by the Ministry of Health confirmed that the bombing resulted in numerous casualties, including a child who died after the intensive care unit ceased functioning. This hospital was not just concrete and walls—it was a sanctuary for the displaced, a medical refuge battling the impossible with depleted resources.

This crime did not happen in isolation. It is a continuation of a declared war on every pulse of life. To date, the Ministry of Health has documented the complete or partial shutdown of over 30 hospitals due to the usurping entity’s systematic bombardment—an explicit violation of international law, which forbids targeting medical infrastructure and personnel under any circumstance.

International reactions were muted, though not absent. Humanitarian and rights organizations, including the World Health Organization, expressed “deep concern,” while Doctors Without Borders demanded an immediate international investigation, describing what’s happening as a war on all forms of life in Gaza.

Amid this bloody landscape, the Palestinian insists on living. He emerges from the rubble cradling his child, or writes on a shattered wall: “Tomorrow will be better.” As if resilience here is not a choice, but a sacred duty—a vow to the land, the identity, the truth, and the martyrs whose dreams remain unfulfilled.

While the bombing and starvation continue, humanity stands at a crossroads. Bombing hospitals is not only a war crime—it is a crime against humanity, a stain on the conscience of the international community every time it remains silent or draws a false equivalence between the oppressor and the oppressed.

In Gaza, the truth does not die. It is being reborn from the ashes, treated by a doctor with no medicine, captured by a journalist who risks everything to show the reality to the world.

They tried to silence the voice of the Baptist Hospital. But the echoes of that explosion carried the screams of the wounded across the globe—witnesses to a crime that shall not be forgiven.
