A CNN visual investigation into the deterioration of medical facilities in northern Gaza has found that at least 20 out of 22 hospitals were damaged or destroyed in the first two months of Israel’s war against Hamas, from October 7 to December 7.
CNN’s analysis is drawing from dozens of satellite images and hundreds of videos from the ground, as well as interviews with doctors, eyewitnesses, and humanitarian organizations. Fourteen hospitals were directly hit. Several, including Gaza’s largest hospitals, Al-Shifa and Al-Quds, appeared to have been attacked by Israel. To provide a window into how Gaza’s hospitals became battlegrounds, CNN took an in-depth look at the deterioration of Al-Shifa and Al-Quds, using 3D modelling and map graphics.
