One of northern Gaza’s last functioning hospitals, Kamal Adwan in Beit Lahia, is “suffering from a stifling siege,” Gaza's Health Ministry said Friday after Israeli forces stormed inside and removed health workers, patients and family members, as military vehicles surrounded the hospital. Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the hospital's head, said in an Instagram story that the Israeli army was “burning all the operating departments in the hospital” while medical staff was still present inside. “It is another dark day in the ongoing series of crimes against Kamal Adwan Hospital and its staff,” he added. Israeli attacks on the hospital over the past few weeks have killed several medics and patients at Kamal Adwan, including the hospital’s ICU director, Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout. The Palestinian Health Ministry noted that the three public hospitals operating in the northern Gaza Strip — Beit Hanoun Hospital, Indonesian Hospital and Kamal Adwan Hospital — are now all out of service.
