If the horrors of the war in Gaza require a representation, it is best portrayed by the image of a hospital patient being burned alive while still being attached to an IV drip.
The scene which gripped the world was no other than the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el Balah, northern Gaza where an Israeli air strike triggered an inferno.
The victim has since been identified as Shaban Al Dalou, a 20 year old student. Only last week he had miraculously survived an Israeli strike on a mosque that claimed 20 Palestinians’ lives.

Another netizen added to the news, stating that Al Jazeera has reported the death count at four, while 70 others were injured.
Netizen AzadiForGaza-Lebanon claimed that several days before the victim was killed, he had asked for some donation to bring his family to Egypt or at least to buy food.
The netizen claimed Al Dalou was the oldest son, and that he died together with his mother in the incident.
The post has since turned into an online condolence for the victim with many netizens expressing their sympathies.
Foreign news network Socialist Worker reported Tahir’s observation, a volunteer surgeon at the hospital.
He described the situation as a horror show, noting that many victims suffered burns covering 60 to 80 percent of their bodies, meaning that survival for many is unlikely.
The Palestinian media office in Gaza reported that this marks the seventh time this year that Israel has targeted the Al-Aqsa grounds. – Oct 15, 2024
