Israeli Tanks Shell Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza
Israeli tanks shelled the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, on Thursday as patients are dying inside due to shortages caused by a 20-day Israeli siege.
According to Al Jazeera, the hospital’s director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, said the Israeli shelling caused “severe damage” to the Intensive Care Unit. Hours before the shelling, he warned the hospital would turn into a “mass grave” and that one patient was dying every hour because of the Israeli siege.
“There is a very large number of wounded people, and we lose at least one person every hour because of the lack of medical supplies and medical staff. Our ambulances can’t transfer wounded people. Those who can arrive by themselves to the hospital receive care. But those who don’t just die in the streets,” Abu Safia said.
