Israel has detained the director of one of Gaza’s last functioning hospitals, Gaza’s Health ministry said Saturday after Israeli forces “forcibly” removed patients and staff, and fires burned across the hospital.
“The occupation forces arrested Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital,” the ministry said in a statement.
Gaza’s health ministry said fire had spread to several departments of the hospital.
"Every day, we say farewell to roses; every day, we say farewell to grooms," she said, referring to the Gaza's youth killed in the war.
“They are in a very miserable and difficult situation, with no water, no electricity, no blankets, no food, and no supplies,” the Health Ministry said.
