Mouners and relatives carry the body of Palestinian Mohammad Salhia, 19, during his funeral in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on March 21, 2024, after he was killed during an Israeli army raid early morning. Normally festive Ramadan nights have become rife with danger in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, said hospital director Wisam Bakr, as surging violence casts a long shadow over the Muslim fasting month.
Since October 7, the Jenin Government Hospital has received 44 people killed and 264 people wounded in Israeli raids, said the director Bakr. “People are staying in their homes, afraid of the bombing, and they don’t have money to spend,” he said. Bakr said the violence and fear had taken a toll on the hospital’s staff and made for a much more reserved Ramadan.
Last week Israeli forces killed two men inside the hospital, in what the military described as “counterterrorism activity” against “armed suspects”. Both of the slain men’s bodies were draped in green Hamas flags and adorned with headbands of the militant group’s armed wing for their funeral, AFP footage showed.Farha Abu al-Haija said she usually looks forward to Ramadan, but now her family and others’ “are missing a member”.At least 444 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers across the West Bank since October 7, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
