This morning, Wednesday, the occupation forces targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, which resulted in a fire breaking out inside the intensive care unit.

Kamal Adwan Hospital Director Hussam Abu Safiya said: “We were surprised by the entry of machinery and bulldozers into the vicinity of the hospital, which was preceded by a terrifying attack on citizens’ homes in the vicinity. We heard gunfire and shells but were unable to do anything.”

He added in a video recorded in front of the department from which smoke could be seen emanating: "There was sudden and crazy shooting at the hospital with all kinds of weapons, and the occupation deliberately targeted the intensive care department by firing at it clearly."

He continued: "We miraculously evacuated patients who were on ventilators from the intensive care unit, which caught fire inside," noting that "it is the only unit in the northern Gaza Strip."

Abu Safiya described the situation in the hospital, especially the intensive care unit, as "very catastrophic and still dangerous."

He pointed out that "the workers tried to extinguish the fire with simple tools, especially since the hospital has been suffering from a water shortage for 8 days after the occupation army targeted the tanks and the water network."

He added: "Now the intensive care unit is out of service and the situation is catastrophic. We have been calling on the world for more than 75 days to provide protection for the health system and its workers, but there has been no response."

On a daily basis, the occupation targets Kamal Adwan Hospital. Last Monday, Quadcopter drones bombed the electric generators, causing a power outage and damage to the intensive care unit.
