The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, announced on Tuesday that the hospital is losing numbers of the wounded every day due to the shortage in medical supplies and the Israeli detention of 45 members of the hospital’s medical staff, while Israeli occupation forces renewed the bombing of the hospital, targeting its third floor.
Dr. Abu Safiya explained that the health system in Gaza is facing hard conditions, stressing that the lack of medical supplies and the Israeli blocking of the entry of a surgical medical delegation to the hospital exacerbate the situation and preclude saving the wounded.
He pointed out that the Israeli army bombed Kamal Adwan Hospital on Monday, while they were trying to save a wounded person in the intensive care room.
He revealed that a hospital doctor lost 17 members of his family, most of them children and women, in the Israeli bombing of his house in the vicinity of the hospital, while another doctor received the news of the martyrdom of 19 of his family members in an Israeli attack while he was working in the emergency department.
Abu Safiya pointed out that the hospital, which is located in the Beit Lahia Project in the northern Gaza Strip, has received many cases of malnutrition, especially among children and the elderly due to food and water shortages in northern Gaza.
