GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The director of the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, Husam Abu Safiya, said on Sunday evening, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) were targeting the hospital around the clock, adding it was another black day witnessed at the hospital.
Abu Safiya said in a recorded statement, “Since yesterday up to this moment, the targeting of the hospital has not stopped, and bombing continues around the clock.”
“Today, coordination was made for the Palestinian Ministry of Health vehicles to evacuate some of the wounded from the hospital and bring in some supplies, but the ambulances were bombed by Quadcopter drones while carrying patients, which resulted in four injuries, including two drivers who were moderately injured, one personnel, and one of the wounded,” he added.
Abu Safiya further explained, “When the ambulances left, the northern gate was targeted. There is a number of injuries who were transferred to the hospital, but there are martyrs near the gate whom we cannot transfer due to continuous targeting of every moving object.”
He pointed out that the IOF targeted and severely damaged the four generators in the hospital, noting that anyone who tried to repair anything was targeted.
He warned of power outages in the coming hours, and water and oxygen depletion, which will lead to deaths among the wounded and patients.
Abu Safiya explained that the hospital currently has more than 50 injured people, some of whom are in the intensive care unit and need oxygen, electricity, and water, 24 hours a day.
He added, “We are being killed daily and the hospital is now being directly bombed without warning.”
Since October 5, the northern Gaza Strip has been subjected to an Israeli invasion that has left more than 4,000 martyrs and missing, 12,000 wounded and 2,000 detainees, in addition to the destruction of vital sectors and infrastructure.
