in the north of the Gaza Strip, the Kamal-Adwan hospital again targeted by attacks by the Israeli army, says its director

The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the north of the Gaza Strip, said his establishment was still targeted by Israeli attacks on Monday, which the army denies, and called for help from the international community “before it’s too late”.

“The bombings did not stop throughout the night, houses and buildings were destroyed nearby. Since this morning, the hospital has been targeted by bombs dropped by drones, which continue to threaten our fuel and oxygen reserves.declared Dr Hossam Abou Safiya in a press release, consulted by Agence France-Presse (AFP).

“The situation is extremely serious and requires urgent international intervention before it is too late”he added. Contacted by AFP, the Israeli army responded that it had no knowledge “of the slightest strike on Kamal Adwan hospital during the night”. She had already declared the same thing on Sunday after a first call for help from the director of the establishment, in which 91 patients are currently being treated according to him.

“We face a constant threat every day. The bombings continue to arrive from everywhere”insisted Dr Hossam Abou Safiya. “The world must understand that our hospital is being targeted with the intent to kill and forcibly displace people”. The director claimed to have received the order at dawn on Sunday to evacuate the establishment immediately, which the Israeli authorities have not confirmed. Located in Beit Lahya, the Kamal Adwan hospital is one of only two still operational in the northern Gaza Strip.
