Gaza Doctors Say Israel's Killing of a Prominent Colleague Leaves a Hard-to-Fill Void

GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP, JUL 2 – Dr. Marwan Al-Sultan, Gaza Indonesian Hospital director, was among 70 healthcare workers killed in 50 days amid ongoing Israeli strikes on medical facilities, worsening Gaza's health crisis.

  • On Wednesday, Israeli forces killed Dr. Marwan al-Sultan, Gaza’s hospital director, along with his family in an airstrike on his home in Gaza City.
  • Part of a campaign, the Israeli military has been accused of systematically dismantling Gaza’s healthcare system, forcing the Indonesian Hospital to close in early June after military operations around it.
  • Healthcare Workers Watch reports al-Sultan was the 70th medical worker killed in 50 days, with a missile precisely targeting his room, leaving other rooms intact.
  • As a result, with the Indonesian Hospital—northern Gaza’s last health facility—forced to close in June and hospitals, ambulances and medical teams systematically obliterated, Gaza’s health system teeters on collapse.
  • More broadly, UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports only 17 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals remain operational, with none in northern Gaza, and families face lifelong trauma.

Marwan Sultan, a renowned Gaza doctor, took a rare break from work on Wednesday to be home with his family. At 2:15 p.m., he became a black statistic: the 70th health worker to be killed by Israeli fire. And that in just the past 50 days. His family was also killed along with him. According to some reports, it was a targeted attack, as the rocket only hit the room he was in, leaving the rest of the house untouched.
