The article is relevant because it discusses the risk, in this case indirect, of Israeli bombardment of areas near Gaza hospitals. In fact, Israel has bombed 'directly', and against all international humanitarian law, many of Gaza's hospitals with devastating impact. At least 17 of the 36 existing hospitals have been completely disabled by direct bombardment. Both in terms of infrastructure, medical care and the health of the population this impact is enormous and is both short, medium and long term.
Hospitals in Gaza were already operating under extremely difficult conditions due to the Israeli blockade for more than 15 years, which systematically prevents access to medical supplies, fuel and other essential resources.
