The Palestinian Ministry of Health said the Israeli occupation army burned Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last operating hospital in northern Gaza, setting fire in several parts of the hospital including the surgery departments, the laboratory, maintenance, ambulance units and warehouses, noting that the fire is now spreading to all buildings.
The ministry explained in a statement that the occupation army is forcibly transferring patients and the injured at gunpoint to the Indonesian Hospital, which lacks medical supplies, water, medicines, and even electricity and generators.
It warned that there are patients who are at risk of death at any moment due to the harsh conditions, while many occupation army vehicles are besieging the hospital, which makes the situation extremely dangerous.
It confirmed that the hospital director, Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, received a clear direct threat, as Israeli troops told him: “This time we will arrest you.”
Early on the day, Israeli occupation forces stormed the hospital, forcing patients and medical staff to assemble in its courtyard before forcing them to head to Al-Fakhoura School.
There, they interrogated them, forced the men to take off their clothes, arrested a number of them, and ordered a number of patients to head to the Indonesian Hospital, which lacks any capabilities.
For its part, Hamas Movement said the fascist occupation army’s burning of the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital after storming it and abusing the patients, the wounded, the displaced and medical staff inside it is a flagrant war crime and a blatant violation of international laws and humanitarian values.
