No Accountability One Year After Israeli Strikes on Gaza Hospital

POLICY WIRE — Khan Younis, Gaza Strip — One year after Israeli airstrikes targeted Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip, no accountability has been established for the incident that resulted in multiple fatalities, including that of freelance journalist Mariam Dagga.

Riyad Abu Dagga, 69, displayed the camera and phone belonging to his daughter, Mariam Dagga, who was killed in the August 25, 2025, airstrike. Mariam, a freelance journalist who collaborated with The Associated Press and other news outlets during the Gaza war, was among those killed when Israeli forces struck the hospital building.

The incident has drawn international attention, with calls for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the airstrike and the lack of subsequent accountability.

No official statements or actions from Israeli authorities regarding the incident have been reported in the past year. The hospital, which served as a critical medical facility in the region, sustained significant damage, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The death of Mariam Dagga has particularly resonated within the journalistic community, highlighting the dangers faced by media professionals in conflict zones. Her work provided vital coverage of the ongoing conflict, and her loss has been deeply felt by her colleagues and the public.

Efforts to obtain comments from Israeli defense officials regarding the strike and the lack of accountability have been unsuccessful. International human rights organizations continue to call for transparency and justice for the victims of the airstrike.
