At least 15 people, including four journalists from notable media organizations, perished in a recent Israeli military strike on Nasser Hospital, a key medical facility in the southern Gaza Strip. Among those killed were a cameraman for Reuters and a freelance journalist for the Associated Press, as well as reporters from Al Jazeera and NBC. Initially, several casualties were reported from a first strike, and the situation worsened with a second attack as rescue teams arrived at the scene, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence authority.
Descriptive images reveal grey smoke ascending from the damaged sections of the hospital, as confusion and panic engulfed the area, marked by the sounds of ambulance sirens and distressed voices. A disturbing video captured a doctor holding blood-stained clothing while the chaos continued; a new strike was reported shortly thereafter. The fatalities include the well-regarded Husam al-Masri from Reuters and Mariam Dagga of the Associated Press, who was only 33 years old. The AP voiced its shock and profound sorrow in light of Dagga's death. Also among the deceased were Mohammed Salameh, representing Al Jazeera, and Muath Abu Taha from NBC. The Civil Defence confirmed that a total of 15 individuals, including a member of their team, lost their lives in this tragic event, raising alarm regarding the growing toll of violence amid the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict.
