A BBC cameraman in Gaza narrowly escaped serious injury when an Israeli strike hit the European Hospital in Khan Younis, killing and wounding dozens. Israel claims the strike targeted a Hamas command center beneath the hospital, while Hamas denies this. The incident occurred while families were gathering at the hospital for the evacuation and return of sick children. The article highlights the cameraman's recent work documenting the plight of severely malnourished children in Gaza, including five-month-old Siwar Ashour, whose story powerfully illustrates the humanitarian crisis. The article also features the story of Asma Al-Nashash, whose son lost a leg in an Israeli bombing and is now in Amman, anxiously contacting her family still trapped in Gaza amid ongoing conflict and food shortages. The UN has described Israel's actions as using food as a "weapon of war".
