LONDON, August 25, 2025 (WAFA) – The UK foreign secretary David Lammy said on Monday that he was horrified by the Israeli attack on the Nasser Medical Complex in the Gaza Strip.
"Horrified by Israel’s attack on Nasser hospital. Civilians, healthcare workers and journalists must be protected. We need an immediate ceasefire," Lammy posted on the X platform.
Israeli warplanes struck the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, on Monday, killing three journalists, including cameraman Hossam al-Masri, Middle East Eye journalists Mohammed Salama and Ahmed Abu Aziz.
The attack also left 16 other Palestinians dead, including at least three other journalists, namely Mariam Dagga, a freelance reporter who worked with several media outlets including the Associated Press; Hussam al-Masri, a photojournalist with the Reuters news agency; and freelance reporter Moaz Abu Taha, in addition to scores more wounded.
Local sources reported that the strike hit the fourth floor of Nasser Hospital directly.
Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes across the Strip and killing at least 10,900 with 46,218 others wounded, according to medical sources.
In the last 24 hours, the bodies of 58 slain Palestinians and 308 casualties were admitted to Gaza hospitals.
Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since October 2023, killing 62,744 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 158,259 others.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
