GAZA, (PIC)
The World Health Organization (WHO) said “the systematic (Israeli) dismantling of the health system in the Gaza Strip is a death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians in need of health care,” explaining that the Israeli storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital and the burning of parts of it put the last major health facility in the northern Gaza Strip out of service.
WHO said in a statement, commenting on the Israeli occupation forces’ storming of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, that some key departments have been burned and destroyed during the storming, noting that 25 patients in critical condition and 60 health care workers are still in the hospital.
Patients in moderate and dangerous conditions were transferred to the destroyed and non-operating Indonesian hospital, it added.
The international organization expressed its deep concern about the safety of these individuals, pointing out that the recent attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital came after escalating restrictions on the access of WHO and its partners to the hospital, and repetitive attacks on or near the facility since October 2023.
“This horror must end, and health care must be protected. Ceasefire!” it said.
