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.
