French Warship Provides Critical Medical Care to Injured Gazans off Egyptian Coast

A French warship, the Dixmude, serving as a field hospital off the coast of Egypt has treated around 1,000 injured individuals from Gaza, providing critical medical care as the enclave's health infrastructure struggles to cope with the aftermath of conflict. The vessel, equipped with medical facilities and staff, has hospitalized nearly 120 people and conducted outpatient consultations for hundreds more. With Gaza's hospitals overwhelmed and targeted, the ship has become a vital lifeline for those in need of urgent medical attention, while similar aid efforts have been deployed by other countries, including Italy.

Israeli Forces Target Gaza Hospitals, Killing Civilians and Raising Fears for Medical Facilities

Jordan accuses Israel of deliberately targeting its Gaza field hospital, claiming it was the fourth deliberate targeting of its field hospitals in Gaza since the conflict began in October. Israel denies shelling the hospital, stating it was engaged in a gunfight with Hamas fighters nearby. The Jordanian military asserts that the deliberate targeting of the hospital is part of Israel's consistent approach to targeting hospitals in Gaza, despite ongoing coordination with the Israeli side to refrain from doing so. The conflict has damaged or destroyed many of Gaza's hospitals and medical clinics, leaving fewer than half of its hospitals partly functional while overwhelmed with injured civilians.

Glimpses of Hope: The Orphaned Gazan's Gaze

Amid the devastating war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, 20-month-old Amir Taha has become an orphan after losing his parents and two siblings in an Israeli strike. With over 18,000 people killed in Gaza, Amir's aunt cares for him while he recovers from his physical wounds at a field hospital set up by the United Arab Emirates. The hospital, a rare functioning facility in the overwhelmed region, treats severe cases and witnesses the heartbreaking consequences of war on innocent children. The local health system is falling apart, leading to infectious diseases and other problems. Despite the constant airstrikes, the hospital staff remains dedicated to saving lives, even as they hear at least 20 strikes a day. The war has left Gaza in ruins, with most of its 2 million residents forced from their homes, and many victims feel abandoned by the world.
