Director General of the Health Ministry, Dr. Munir Al-Barash, said that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) prevented the entry of medical supplies to Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.
Al-Barash further noted that the IOF stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital after an international delegation visited the health facility, saying that they lost contact with the director of the hospital after detaining him.
He added that about 850 Palestinians have been killed in the northern Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli military operation in northern Gaza.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said that “the Israeli forces forced all males held in the Kamal Adwan Hospital to take off their clothes before arresting some of them.
“The medical staff were gathered and held in one room, including the hospital director, Hussam Abu Safia, before being gathered in the hospital yard,” the ministry added.
The ministry explained that “all of those detainees’ fate is still unknown.”
The ministry called on international institutions to “urgently intervene to protect health personnel and patients held in the Kamal Adwan Hospital without water, food, or medical services.”
For his part, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced earlier on Friday that contact had been lost with the staff of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip after being stormed by the Israeli forces.
