Gaza Hospital Takes Fire Instead of Aid

Gaza, Beit Lahiya, PalestineFriday, October 25, 2024

In northern Gaza, the Kamal Adwan Hospital is facing a tough situation. Instead of getting much-needed supplies, it's been hit by Israeli forces. The hospital, which is running low on essentials, has been receiving injured people from nearby areas. The director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, said tanks and bulldozers have entered the hospital compound, making it hard for staff to help patients. The World Health Organization (WHO) chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, expressed concern, saying the hospital is housing many patients and people seeking shelter.

The Israeli military claims they're acting on intel about terrorists in the area. However, the hospital's condition is worsening, with parts of the wall demolished and the oxygen station damaged. The military even separated men from women, making communication impossible. Supplies did arrive later, but more help is needed.
