11 November 2026

An Israeli airstrike hit the Nasser Hospital in Gaza on the night of 11 November 2026.
The World Health Organization says six people were killed and 27 injured, and the building was badly damaged.
The surgical department took the hit, and a medical worker, patients and people accompanying them were among the dead.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said health facilities are lifelines and must be protected.
WHO has now recorded more than 1,000 attacks on healthcare in Gaza since October 2023.
The UN's acting Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Ramiz Alakbarov, called the strike deeply alarming and restated the duty of every party under international humanitarian law to spare medical staff and hospitals.
The UN aid coordination office puts about 65% of Gaza's population, roughly 1.4 million people, in tents or makeshift shelter.
