Turkish hospital in Gaza ceases operations following Israeli attacks

The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza had ceased operations as a result of the ongoing attacks by Israel and fuel shortages, Turkey’s health minister has said. 

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Fahrettin Koca said the hospital shut down on Wednesday despite repeated warnings.

“The international community has to make a choice between knowingly letting patients die and saving their lives,” said Koca.

“Unfortunately, the international community and relevant institutions have not taken sufficient action to prevent the attacks on the hospital."
