According to the World Health Organization WHO, the Kamal Adwan hospital is out of use following the Israeli military operation targeting it on Friday morning.
Israel’s Friday morning military operation on the Kamal Adwan hospital has resulted in the fact that the last significant hospital in the northern part of Gaza is now out of use, says the World Health Organization WHO under the UN in its statement on message service X.
On Friday, Israeli forces launched a raid on one of the only operating hospitals in northern Gaza, Kamal Adwan in Beit Lahia.
– According to preliminary reports, some key departments were badly burned and destroyed during the attack, the World Health Organization WHO states in X.
According to the AFP news agency, the Israeli military claimed in a statement that the hospital has become “a key base for terrorist organizations and continues to be used as a terrorist hideout” after Israel stepped up its operations in northern Gaza in early October.
According to the WHO, there are reportedly still 60 healthcare workers and 25 patients in critical condition at the hospital, some of whom are on ventilators.
Patients in moderate or serious condition had to be evacuated to a destroyed and disabled Indonesian hospital, the UN health organization said, adding that it was “deeply concerned about the safety of patients”.
