Health ministry: Urgent appeal to help besieged hospitals in northern Gaza

GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) As the Israeli siege on northern Gaza and its hospitals entered day 10 on Monday, Gaza’s health ministry has launched a renewed appeal for urgent help for the patients and medical crews at the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya.

In a new distress message sent on Monday morning to international organizations, the health ministry called for necessarily providing the hospitals in northern Gaza, especially the Kamal Adwan Hospital, with food and medical supplies and protecting their medical crews.

Yesterday, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital Husam Abu Safiya said that the medical crews at the hospital are incapacitated and cannot even provide patients with minimal medical care, asking international organizations to pressure the Israeli government to allow medical delegations to enter Gaza.
