Details of the massacre
Five premature infants.
Controlling hospitals was one of the declared main objectives of the Israeli occupation army during the ground operation in Gaza, and this was indeed achieved on the ground. There are harrowing scenes and terrifying details of decomposing bodies of premature infants in Al-Nasr Hospital in Gaza City, where bombardment and the siege by Israeli occupation forces forced the hospital staff and patients to evacuate.
Three weeks later, after the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from the area, Al-Mashhad channel correspondent Mohammed Baalousha managed to enter Al-Nasr Hospital for Children and was shocked by the horrifying scenes of decomposing bodies of children in the intensive care unit, which the occupation army prevented from being removed and buried.
In a testimony from Dr. Mustafa Al-Kahlout, the director of Al-Nasr Hospital for Children, he stated that he called upon international organizations, including the Red Cross, to save the lives of the five critically ill children, but received no response. He mentioned that he informed an Israeli army officer who had warned them of final evacuation about the condition of the five children on ventilators, confirming that the officer told him that the army was aware of the situation and would take action.
