The UN official said in a post on the X platform, today, Tuesday, that the World Health Organization and its partners arrived at the hospital two days ago in light of the Israeli attacks and shelling, and delivered 5,000 liters of fuel, and quantities of food and medicine.
In his post, Ghebreyesus explained that the organization transferred three patients from Kamal Adwan Hospital to Al-Shifa Hospital to continue receiving treatment.
He pointed out that Israel arbitrarily refused access for WHO personnel to Kamal Adwan Hospital last week.
He pointed out that these developments deprived the hospital of specialized workers in surgical and obstetric care.
He reported that clashes and Israeli shelling continued around the hospital, causing further damage to oxygen supplies and electrical generators.
He renewed his call for a ceasefire in Gaza, to protect health services and to stop the atmosphere of hell.
Last night, Israeli army forces planted 3 explosive robots around Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.
Israeli Quadcopter drones dropped more than 10 bombs on the hospital, causing a fire on the third floor.
