Dr. Marwan Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, his wife, and their five children were killed when Israeli forces shelled their home in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood of southern Gaza.
Why it matters:
Since October 9, the Israeli attack on Gaza has killed tens of thousands, primarily women and children.
Targeting Gaza's medical staff by Israel is among the conflict's most tragic aspects and repeated Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The big picture:
The Gaza Health Ministry announced: "We mourn the martyrdom of Dr. Marwan Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital, along with several members of his family."
The Ministry further stated: "Every crime against medical and humanitarian workers underscores the ongoing brutal campaign and deliberate targeting of these personnel."
By the number:
According to the Gaza Health Ministry’s latest report, 142 martyrs and 487 wounded have been admitted to hospitals in the past 24 hours.
The Ministry also confirmed that the total death toll from the Zionist regime’s aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to 57,012 martyrs and 134,592 wounded.
