The Red Crescent Society said on Sunday that the Israeli army prevented the entry of oxygen into Al Amal Hospital about a week ago, which led to the death of three patients.

In a statement issued by it, the association denied the Israeli claim that it brought oxygen cylinders into the hospital, or any other medical equipment, stressing that the occupation forces destroyed medical devices and equipment during their storming of the hospital, as well as assaulting the staff by beating, abusing and insulting them before arresting 9 medical and administrative staff, and four wounded, and five patients' companions.

It added: "The Israeli army continues to prevent the entry of fuel necessary for the operation of electricity generators, even though the fuel stock is about to run out in two days from now, which threatens to stop the hospital from working as its siege continues for the twenty-first day in a row, including patients, wounded, and medical and administrative staff."
