French President Emmanuel Macron has indicated that France may recognize a Palestinian state in June 2025, advocating for a two-state solution that includes recognition of Israel by pro-Palestinian states.

Hamas condemned the airstrike on the hospital as a 'heinous crime,' holding Israel and its allies responsible for the ongoing violence.

American doctor Samer Attar, working at Al-Ahli, described the conditions as desperate, with patients suffering from exhaustion and trauma due to the ongoing conflict.

These military actions coincided with discussions among Hamas leaders in Cairo regarding a potential ceasefire, with international mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S. involved.

The airstrike occurred amid a rushed evacuation order for Palestinians in the area, further exacerbating the already critical humanitarian crisis.

This strike was followed by another attack in Deir al-Balah, which resulted in the deaths of at least seven individuals, including six brothers and their friend.

On April 13, 2025, Israel launched a pre-dawn airstrike on Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City, leading to the evacuation of patients amid escalating military actions.

The humanitarian consequences of these military operations are dire, with the United Nations reporting severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies due to an ongoing blockade.

Survivors have recounted harrowing experiences of displacement and lack of medical care, emphasizing the critical humanitarian situation in the region.

In response to the escalating violence, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has called for a ceasefire, the release of hostages held by Hamas, and the resumption of humanitarian aid.

Ravina Shamdasani, a UN spokesperson, expressed concerns that Israel's evacuation orders may indicate intentions for the permanent displacement of civilians, which would violate international humanitarian laws.

Currently, over 2.1 million people in Gaza are trapped, facing bombardment and starvation as essential supplies accumulate at border crossings.
