About the Platform
The platform "Documenting the Targeting and Destruction of the Health Sector in the Gaza Strip" presents accurate and detailed information about the Israeli assault on health during the genocidal war. This includes data on the attacks on healthcare facilities and health workers who have been killed, abducted, tortured, and maimed by Israeli forces during the genocide, and relevant statements by international organizations and healthcare institutions. These are complemented by original analysis by researchers and authors covering a range of issues in the targeting of the health sector, through which Israeli occupation forces have created a "war biosphere".

Bombing of his workplace and his martyrdom
Dr. Basel Mahdi and Dr. Ra'ed Mahdi were martyred as a result of a strike on their maternity hospital in Gaza City, to which they had been displaced with their families. Both doctors had been working from the beginning of the war until the day they were martyred. Those who were besieged in the hospital, including the two doctors and their family, had been pleading to be evacuated for several days.
