Israeli forces raid hospital in Gaza amidst fear for patients’ lives

GAZA: The occupation forces Monday stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, after besieging and bombing it for several days, amid fears for patients' lives. Medical sources in the Gaza Strip said that the occupation forces gathered medical teams and displaced men in the courtyard of Kamal Adwan Hospital, expressing their fears of their arrest or killing. The same sources called on the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and the Red Cross to take action to rescue those in the hospital. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Ahmed Al-Kahlot, announced yesterday that the occupation forces directly bombed the maternity ward, killing two women and their two children, and amputating a third woman's feet. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital said that there are 65 cases of casualties, 12 children in intensive care, 6 premature babies, 100 medical personnel, and 3,000 displaced people inside the hospital. The occupation forces had previously stormed most of the hospitals in Gaza and the north, abused medical staff, the displaced people, the sick and the injured, and detained 34 medical staff.
