The Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, called on Tuesday for a safe corridor to allow the entry of all aid supplies and to protect workers and the health system from Israeli attacks.

“We urge the world to provide relief aid to the health care system in northern Gaza, including Kamal Adwan Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital, and the Indonesian Hospital,” Abu Safiya said.

Abu Safiya affirmed that the Israeli military vehicles advanced yesterday near the hospital and deployed explosive robots around the health facility after destroying the internal doors.

“The destruction was horrific, and twenty people were injured in the attack, including five medical staff members.”

Abu Safiya further indicated that Israeli drones were seen this morning hovering in the hospital’s vicinity, carrying explosive boxes.

“The bombing continues from all directions, affecting the building, the departments and the staff. This is a serious and extremely horrifying situation,” Abu Safia said.

Abu Safia said: “The world must understand that our hospital is being targeted with the intent to kill and forcibly displace us,” adding that the Israeli bombing did not stop throughout Monday and Tuesday, destroying homes and surrounding buildings.

“We urge the international community to intervene quickly and stop this fierce assault on us to protect the healthcare system, the workers and the patients within it,” the hospital director said.

Since Monday morning, the hospital has been targeted with bombs in its courtyards and on its rooftop dropped by quadcopters, once again threatening the hospital’s fuel and oxygen supplies, he said.

Abu Safia made a similar appeal on Sunday, accusing Israel of directly bombing the hospital’s intensive care unit.

More than 14 months of Israeli attacks have devastated Gaza and displaced almost all of its 2.3 million people. More than 45,000 people, mostly children and women, have been killed in the offensive.
