The Israeli occupation army continues its tight siege of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, for the third consecutive day, with 91 patients inside, amidst appeals for the necessity of intervention to save the patients and medical staff, and provide them with medical supplies and food.

According to medical sources, the occupation's drones dropped bombs on the hospital's grounds and roof this morning, Monday, which once again threatens fuel and oxygen supplies.

The same sources explained that 91 patients are still in the hospital, including the elderly, children and women, and the services provided to them are minimal, due to the ongoing and severe siege that has been imposed on them for nearly two months, during which the entry of medicine, food, medical teams, ambulances and any other services has been prevented.

It pointed out that yesterday, the occupation tanks and bulldozers suddenly approached the western gate of the hospital, amidst a heavy hail of bullets, which penetrated the intensive care unit, the maternity ward, and the specialized surgery ward, and some bullets exploded inside the wards, which created a state of fear and panic among the patients.

It noted that the occupation targeted one of the generators, which led to it being completely out of service due to the fire, and there were also attempts to target the fuel tank, amid continuous shelling of surrounding homes and buildings.

It is noteworthy that the occupation army launched violent raids on the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital, since yesterday evening, Saturday, after demanding its evacuation without providing the means to evacuate the patients.

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 that provides 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 thousand 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 resulted in damage to its buildings, and the deaths of martyrs and wounded inside or outside the hospital.

The hospital bears the name of one of the leaders of the Palestinian revolution and the most prominent symbol of the Fatah movement, the martyr Kamal Adwan, who was assassinated by the Israeli Mossad along with the leaders Muhammad Yusuf al-Najjar (Abu Yusuf al-Najjar) and Kamal Nasser, on April 10, 1973, in the Lebanese capital Beirut, for their prominent activity in the Palestinian resistance.
