The hospital treats 40 patients, including 10 children and eight women, most of them suffering from severe burns; 25 casualties are transferred to other health facilities due to the hospital's lack of capacity. Al-Aqsa Hospital has been hit seven times since March 2024, including three times since September 2024.
