Since yesterday evening, Saturday, the Israeli occupation has continued its direct and unprecedented bombing and targeting of the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, amidst appeals for the necessity of intervening to save patients and medical staff, and provide them with medical supplies and food.

According to medical sources, the occupation continues to bomb the hospital with bombs and artillery shells, and to target its departments with sniper bullets, causing severe damage, while contact with the medical team inside has been lost.

The same sources explained that the medical crews present in the hospital gathered in one place between the corridors and departments, in an attempt to protect themselves from shrapnel and bullets.

Kamal Adwan Hospital has been under a tight siege by the occupation forces for nearly two months, during which they have prevented the entry of medicine, food, medical staff, ambulances, and any other services.

On a daily basis, the occupation targets the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of medical personnel and citizens in its vicinity, and caused damage to electricity generators and hospital departments.

On October 5, the occupation forces invaded the northern Gaza Strip again, amid bloody shelling, a tight siege, and the prevention of the entry of food, water, and medicine.

The occupation continues to commit crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the town of Beit Lahia, and Kamal Adwan Hospital is a last resort for the sick and injured in the north, who have not found an alternative, providing them with the minimum medical and humanitarian services.

Despite this, the medical staff inside the hospital, consisting of two doctors at most and a small number of nurses, continues to perform their humanitarian duty, and they have refused to obey the army’s multiple orders to evacuate its buildings and leave the governorate, despite the ongoing crimes against them.

It is noteworthy that "Kamal Adwan" was the largest hospital in the northern governorate, providing its services to more than 400,000 people, while it operates today amidst non-existent conditions and capabilities due to the occupation's direct targeting of it since October 2023, as it continues to launch intensive raids on its surroundings, in addition to blowing up buildings and residential blocks next to it, which results in damage to its buildings, and the deaths of martyrs and wounded inside or outside the hospital.
