On May 16, a powerful explosion rocked the Gaza Strip, destroying a six-story hospital that had been treating hundreds of patients. The blast was felt across Gaza City and caused extensive property damage. As of this writing, no injuries have been reported, and the cause of the blast is unknown.
This is a tragedy that authorities in Gaza and around the world are trying to piece together. Here’s what we know so far:
The hospital was Pakistan-built and had hundreds of patients being treated at the time of the blast. While the exact cause of the explosion is still unknown, the building suffered extensive damage on all six floors. The explosion occurred late at night, so there were fewer patients in the hospital, and everyone was evacuated before any injuries took place.
The investigation is being led by military police and fire fighters. They are trying to uncover what caused the blast, and it’s possible that an incendiary device was used. It is believed that Hamas is behind the incident, but there is still no confirmation.
At this time, the city is trying to recover from the blast while mourning the destruction of the hospital. Although the cause of the explosion is still unknown, several charitable initiatives are taking place to help the victims of the blast.
This is a tragic incident for the people of Gaza and the rest of the world. It is essential that the cause of this explosion is uncovered, and those responsible held accountable. We can only hope justice will be served soon.
