Following Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza under the January 19 ceasefire, the Palestine-Türkiye Friendship Hospital was found severely damaged, burned, and covered with Hebrew graffiti. The hospital, built by Türkiye to treat cancer patients, had been used as a military base by Israeli forces during the months-long offensive.
Israel’s attacks on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, left over 47,000 dead and 111,000 injured. According to Gaza’s Media Office, Israel destroyed 34 of 38 hospitals and rendered 162 medical institutions unusable. The Palestine-Türkiye Hospital, which served over 10,000 cancer patients, was shut down on November 1, 2023.
