Tragic Discovery: Premature Babies Found Decomposing in Gaza Hospital

During Israel's assault on northern Gaza, al-Nasr Children's Hospital faced an ultimatum from the Israeli Defense Forces to evacuate or be bombarded. The hospital staff, unable to safely transport the five premature babies in need of life support, reluctantly left them behind. Two weeks later, a journalist discovered the decomposing bodies of the four babies in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. The grim discovery highlights the civilian toll of the conflict, with thousands killed, including many children. Israel has accused Hamas of using hospitals as command centers, but Hamas and Gaza medical staff deny this. The evacuation of the hospital was painful, with no way to reach the babies' families, and the nurse who made the difficult decision to leave them behind now feels haunted by the event.
