03Strike on tent camp at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, Deir al-Balah

On 14 October 2024, an Israeli airstrike hit a tent camp for displaced people on the grounds of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, killing at least four people and injuring dozens, according to Gaza health officials, and igniting a fire that Doctors Without Borders said destroyed shelters housing 37 families. Widely shared footage verified by NBC News showed people burning alive, including a man lying on a bed reportedly attached to an IV drip; the Israeli military said it targeted a Hamas command center at the site, which Doctors Without Borders said it had no knowledge of.
