Israeli Airstrikes Hit Northern Gaza Hospital Amid Ongoing Conflicts
Israeli military operations have severely impacted a major hospital in northern Gaza, leaving both patients and medical personnel injured.
In the midst of escalating violence, Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya has suffered extensive damage due to Israeli airstrikes, injuring medical staff and patients alike. The Gazan health ministry reported on Monday that the hospital, already struggling to provide care, had come under relentless shelling, which lasted several hours. Hospital director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyeh recounted that staff were unable to assist one another due to the dangerous conditions.
This bombardment indicates a troubling trend, as the health ministry labeled their statement a “distress call that may be the last.” The situation has been compounded by Israeli forces previously detaining numerous individuals, including healthcare workers, within the hospital premises.
While the Israeli military has stated that it is investigating the reports surrounding Kamal Adwan, it has defended its actions by claiming to support the evacuation of patients and staff to other facilities while providing humanitarian aid. However, previous Israeli accounts have maintained that hospitals were collateral damage in attacks aimed at nearby Hamas targets, an assertion that hospital officials strongly dispute.
Human rights organizations have accused Israeli forces of systematically targeting essential infrastructures, including health care, during the ongoing conflict, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
