Kuwait TV Correspondent and photographer survived the Israeli bombing in Gaza.

KUWAIT CITY, Nov 25, (Agencies): In a harrowing incident in the Gaza Strip, Kuwait TV correspondent Suad Al-Imam, along with her accompanying photographer, survived an airstrike carried out by Israeli forces. The attack targeted a residence near the Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah, resulting in numerous casualties.

The bombing occurred as Al-Imam was reporting on the arrival of two Kuwaiti cars via the air bridge at the Rifa crossing. Tragically, the strike left dozens dead and wounded.

Al-Imam recounted that she, along with the accompanying photographer and the director of the Kuwait Specialized Hospital, Dr. Suhaib Al-Hams, were in Gaza to document the hospital's reception of two ambulances provided by Kuwait. The occupation forces unexpectedly launched three missiles at a house situated less than 50 meters from the hospital, causing extensive destruction and resulting in numerous casualties.

Despite the chaos, Al-Imam reported that the two ambulances, having just arrived, deviated from their intended path to the hospital. Instead, they proceeded to evacuate the wounded and transport them from the heavily impacted site.
