Al-Hams further noted that the Israeli occupation “deliberately” targets medical staff, indicating that it “has executed more than 1,000 doctors, nurses, and health cadres so far.”
He pointed out that the occupation army also targeted and destroyed Abu Yousef Al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah Governorate, noting that Abu Yousef Hospital provided health and medical services to 300,000 people.
“(The hospital) provided health services during the genocide war to one and a half million displaced people and citizens before the Israeli invasion of Rafah Governorate.”
In this regard, Al-Hams called on the international community to take a “serious stand” to restore and protect the health sector.
The Ministry of Health indicated that the Israeli army targeted over the past few hours the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip “directly and without any reason”.
