Targeting doctors and medics
UNRWA - More than 560 humanitarian aid workers have been killed in Gaza and the West Bank since Oct 7. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has recorded 392 colleagues killed in Gaza; this includes 310 direct UNRWA personnel and 82 individuals supporting agency activities. Separately, the Palestinian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) report that over 1,580 to 1,722 healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered over one million residents in Gaza's north to relocate south or be killed: ''Those who want to save their life, please go south.'' Gaza's south would later be bombed.
Gaza's north contains all of Gaza City and the largest hospital in all of the Gaza Strip, Al-Shifa. Four hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip were rendered no longer functioning, and another 21 were ordered by Israel to evacuate. The doctors refused, saying that the evacuation would cause the death of many patients, and the UN warned that the fuel for the generators in the hospitals would run out, endangering the lives of thousands of hospitalized patients.
Dr. Muhammad Abu Silima: ''It's absolutely impossible to evacuate the hospital. There is nowhere in Gaza that can accept the number of patients in our intensive care unit, or neonatal intensive care unit, or even the operating rooms. If someone doesn't die from the bombardment, then he'll die from the lack of medical service.''
The NYT reports that while fleeing, an Israeli airstrike struck a convoy of vehicles trying to flee the north along a main highway, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, killing 70 people and injuring 200.
During the siege on al-Shifa hospital, the facility's neonatal intensive care unit ran out of fuel, turning off incubators and oxygen supplies, resulting in the deaths of multiple premature babies prior to the forced evacuation of survivors. Medics were forced to wrap the vulnerable infants in thermal blankets and foil in an attempt to keep them warm.
Following an evacuation from Al-Nasser hospital, several infants dependent on life support and incubators were left behind in the ICU and later found deceased.
An infant's corpse was found decomposing at Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital in Gaza City; they died from oxygen and life-support deprivation after hospital staff were forcibly evacuated by the IDF.
The Israeli Energy Minister, Israel Katz, who oversees the supply of energy into Gaza, stated on October 16th: ''I strongly oppose the opening of the blockade and the introduction of goods into Gaza on humanitarian grounds.''
Later, as a sick joke, and possibly as a threat, Benjamin Netanyahu gifted Trump a golden pager during a visit to the White House. In 2026, Netanyahu bragged about this attack at the UN, and despite their own warrant, they didn't arrest him, because the US is an illegitimate entity.
