Israeli Occupation Besieges Hospitals in Northern Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict
In a grave escalation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the Israeli occupation forces have besieged three hospitals in northern Gaza, namely Kamal Adwan and Indonesian hospitals, demanding their evacuation. This alarming development comes as the Ministry of Health in Gaza reports that the occupation is not only obstructing medical services but also actively threatening the safety of health personnel and patients.
The situation has become dire as the Israeli army has fired upon the administration office of Kamal Adwan Hospital, leading to the arrest of a paramedic and hindering the evacuation of premature infants. The hospital administration has raised urgent calls for international intervention, emphasizing the need for humanitarian support to protect the health system from being rendered inoperative. The looming threat of hospitals shutting down due to fuel shortages adds to the already catastrophic conditions faced by civilians in the region.
The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital has made a desperate appeal to international humanitarian organizations, urging them to intervene and assist the health authorities in Gaza. This plea comes in the wake of a bloody day in Gaza, where over 40 Palestinians have been reported killed in Israeli airstrikes across various areas, including Rafah and Jabalia camp. The situation remains critical, with many bodies still trapped under rubble and in streets that are inaccessible due to ongoing hostilities.
As the conflict intensifies, the international community is called upon to take immediate action to address the humanitarian needs and protect the rights of those affected by this military aggression.
