Archivist Notes On This Video

"The warehouse was targeted directly with multiple rockets while healthcare wprkers were inside, working to transport medicine to hospitals affiliated with the MInistry of Health, which have a suffered a severe lack of drugs and consumables.

The targeted area is inhabited and the coordinates (of the warehouse) are known by the occupation. This warehouse has been operational since the early days of the war and the WHO knows about it.

This direct strike killed 3 Ministry of Health workers and one passer-by, in addition to 6 injuries among our staff ranging from moderate to serious. Among the injured is our colleague the General Director of Pharmacoly Dr. Zakaria Abu Qamar who is currently undergoing a surgery of his thorax and abdomen with injuries from moderate to serious.

The martyrs are our brothers Mahmoud Qasem Al-Astal, Muhammad Mahmoud Barhoum, and Adel Baraka may God have mercy on them all and admit them with martyrs. And may he also accept the martyr Fouad Abu Zayd." (the passer-by)
