Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia in the North Gaza Governorate, said that about 200 Palestinian dead are still under the rubble of homes destroyed by Israel in the northern Gaza Strip during the past 48 hours.

Abu Safiya explained in a video clip that "the humanitarian scene in the northern Gaza Strip is approaching an absolute catastrophe as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression, as more than 200 Palestinians were killed in the past 48 hours, and their bodies are still under the rubble."

Abu Safiya added, "The Israeli occupation army committed massacres against the families of Al-Araj, Al-Baba, Alian, and Warsh Agha. Only three injuries from those who survived the Israeli raids reached the hospital, and they remained alive."

He continued, "What breaks the heart is hearing the voices of survivors calling for help from under the rubble, and when citizens tried to rescue them, they were targeted again by Israeli aircraft, which makes reaching those areas almost impossible."

He pointed out that targeting the Al-Araj family home was tragic, as there were about 100 people inside the house, and only one person survived, an employee in the Kamal Adwan Hospital laundry, who happened to be at work during the raid.

Abu Safiya explained that the hospital faces major challenges, most notably the prevention of the entry of medical equipment, medicines and necessary supplies, in addition to the prevention of the entry of ambulances, which arrive with difficulty.

He pointed out that there are 63 hospitalized cases, most of them are wounded, including 9 cases in intensive care, and two newborns, most of them critical cases.

On October 5, the occupation army began a large-scale military operation in the northern Gaza Strip. Since then, the operation has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 3,000 Palestinians, the displacement of tens of thousands, and the destruction of entire residential neighborhoods.

With American support, Israel has been waging a war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, which has left more than 149,000 Palestinian dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and elderly people.
