Israeli strike kills six at Gaza hospital as nine-month-old baby dies from cold
An overnight Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza killed at least six Palestinians on 12 November, according to medics. Those killed included a teenage boy and a surgeon, underscoring the danger facing both civilians and medical workers inside the devastated territory. The strike hit a hospital that is serving people amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis, where medical facilities and the communities around them remain under severe pressure.
