The aftermath of Israel’s military operation at Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital continues to unfold. On November 16, Israeli forces reportedly damaged the hospital’s radiology department, according to the UN’s humanitarian affairs office. Israel claims it discovered a Hamas tunnel shaft at the site, intensifying tensions in the region.
In a recent development, over 100 bodies of Gazans held at the hospital were returned to families after Israeli authorities delayed their release to search for Hamas members. Local organizations like the Red Crescent stepped in to organize mass funerals, offering closure amid the chaos.
Al Shifa, Gaza’s largest medical facility, has become a focal point in the conflict. While Israel insists its operations target militant infrastructure, humanitarian groups warn of escalating civilian suffering. As the world watches, the cycle of loss and resilience in Gaza raises urgent questions about the path to peace.
