Accounts From the Ward

A group of foreign doctors who recently worked in Gaza hospitals report a disturbing pattern of single, precise gunshot wounds in children—injuries they say are consistent with deliberate targeting. The accounts were published in European media and amplified by international outlets.

Israel’s Position

Israel denies deliberately targeting civilians and says militants embed among noncombatants, complicating operations. The military says it investigates credible allegations and holds Hamas responsible for fighting in dense urban areas.

Humanitarian Toll

Medical teams describe intense strain: overwhelmed emergency rooms, shortages of anaesthetics, and repeated displacement of clinics. Aid agencies warn that trauma care, dialysis and pediatric oncology are at risk of collapse without sustained access and supplies.

Calls for Inquiry

Rights groups and medical organizations urge independent investigations with access to hospital records and ballistics where possible. Diplomats say corroborated findings could shape accountability debates at international forums.
