Israeli forces continue its siege of Al-Amal Hospital for the 26th day and prevents supplies
The Red Crescent Society said that the Israeli occupation continues to besiege and target Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis for the 26th day in a row, and for two weeks the occupation tanks have been stationed in front of the hospital building.
She added in a press statement, on Saturday evening, that the occupation prevented the arrival of food, medical and fuel supplies to Al Amal Hospital, which threatens a humanitarian catastrophe and the cessation of work inside the hospital, coinciding with the continued shooting towards the hospital building around the clock, which limits the movement of staff inside the hospital. It puts the lives of patients and staff at extreme risk.
She stressed that the lives of dialysis patients and seriously injured people are in danger as a result of the occupation’s continued refusal to provide a safe humanitarian corridor to transfer them to continue treatment in other hospitals.
The association indicated that the occupation continues to arrest 7 of its staff for the eighth day in a row, who were arrested during the storming of Al-Amal Hospital, while two doctors were released yesterday who reported that they were beaten, tortured, abused and humiliated.
She pointed out that various landline and cellular communications and Internet services continued to be interrupted for the 33rd day in a row in Khan Yunis Governorate, which led to the interruption of communication between the association’s various crews.
