Archivist Notes: Israeli forces strike Al-Awda hospital ambulance

At 3:20 pm, an Israeli strike targeted a convoy of three ambulances belonging to Al-Awda Hospital, killing two women.

The ambulances were carrying 6 injuries to be transfered to Kamal Adwan Hospital, along with a newborn, whose mother was among those who were killed.

Crews were able to evacuate 5 injuries. They could not rescue the sixth as the IDF continued targeting them.

Some of the above details were corroborated by the testimony of paramedic "Abu Khalil". His account was that the convoy was transfering injuries to Kamal Adwan Hospital when there was a sudden violent explosion while they were on Al-Khulafa Street. The crews evacuated those they could, but could not reach one victim. There was a woman pronouncing her shahada near the ambulance behind them that was completely destroyed.

The newborn survived but could only be retrieved almost a day, miraculously still alive.

On January 1, 2025, Al Jazeera published CCTV footage capturing the moment of the Israeli attack.

Names of the martyrs:

  1. Raghad Ayman Abdulqader Al-Basyouni (mother of newborn)
  2. Sanaa Mustafa Al-Basyouni (companion)
