Innocence Lost: Tragedy Strikes Gaza Hospital as 12-Year-Old Girl Becomes Victim of Israeli Bombing

A 12-year-old girl named Dounia, who had lost her leg in an airstrike that killed her family, was killed in an apparent strike at a Gaza hospital. In an interview weeks before her death, Dounia expressed her desire for the war to end and her dream of becoming a doctor. The Nasser Hospital Complex, where many seek shelter, is now at risk of further attacks. Hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed and struggling to care for the influx of patients. The Israel Defense Forces claim to only target militants and accuse Hamas of using civilians as shields. The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 19,000, while in Israel, over 1,200 people have been killed since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
