The IOF’s targeting of warehouses containing medicines and medical supplies constitutes an attack on a protected civilian object and a direct assault on the rights to life and health. According to information obtained by PCHR’s field researchers, at approximately 01:30 on Saturday, 01 August 2026, the IOF issued evacuation orders for an entire residential block on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital Street in Deir al-Balah. At approximately 02:20 on the same day, an Israeli warplane fired a missile at a small barrack located northwest of the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The barrack was used to store medicines, IV fluids, and other medical supplies for the hospital. PCHR emphasizes that hospitals, medical units, and warehouses designated for medicines and medical supplies enjoy special protection under the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention and 1977 Additional Protocol I.
