The United Nations has urgently called for accountability following Israel’s “double-tap” strike on Gaza’s Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on August 25, 2025, which killed around 20 people, including five journalists and several health workers . The second bombing—striking medics and journalists who rushed to aid victims of the first—has drawn sharp condemnation, with the UN emphasizing that hospitals, medical personnel, and the press must be protected under international humanitarian law .

UN human rights spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan urged that investigations led by Israel must produce real results, pointing out that most previous inquiries ended without accountability . The Israeli military claimed it targeted a Hamas surveillance camera but offered no evidence and admitted investigative gaps . With this blow at a major functioning hospital—and amid rising famine and humanitarian collapse—the UN reiterated calls for a prompt, impartial investigation, protection of civilians and media, and justice for the victims .
