Health care officials in northern Gaza warned of severe shortages in medical supplies on Wednesday as Israeli bombardment in the area intensified.
The hospital faces severe shortages in staff, medical supplies, blood units, food for patients and fuel to activate medical devices, he said.
“We have nothing to provide for the patients and the injured.”Repeated Israeli bombardment nearby has significantly damaged the hospital, he said, destroying patient accommodations and blocking access for emergency services.
Kamal Adwan Hospital, also in Beit Lahiya, is facing severe shortages as well, its director Hussam Abu Safiya told CNN over the phone.
CNN has reached out to the Israeli military for a comment on the intensive bombardment in northern Gaza.
