AhlulBayt News Agency: At least 30 citizens were martyred on Friday morning in an Israeli massacre after bombing several houses in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Local sources told the PIC correspondent that Israeli occupation forces (IOF) penetrated, at dawn, into the Beit Lahia Project, amid heavy fire belts targeting the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital, affecting the nearby houses.
The sources added that the IOF sent two detained citizens, using them as human shields, to the hospital to inform the medical staff as well as the patients and their companions to gather in the hospital’s courtyards before asking them to leave after arresting some of them, forcing them to flee towards Gaza City.
According to the sources, the IOF withdrew from the area in the morning, leaving behind a heinous massacre that claimed the lives of at least 30 martyrs in the houses adjacent to the hospital.
The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya said that the situation inside and around the hospital is catastrophic, as there are a large number of martyrs and wounded, including four martyrs of the medical staff, noting that no surgeons are left in the hospital.
Abu Safiya confirmed in a press statement that the only medical team that was performing the operations was the Indonesian medical delegation, and they were forced to leave to a checkpoint, adding that medical supplies are about to run out, and there are hundreds of victims.
He pointed out that the Indonesian medical delegation was the first to be forced to leave to the checkpoint.
Abu Safiya explained that when they returned to hospital in the morning after being forced to evacuate it, they were shocked to see hundreds of bodies and wounded in the streets surrounding the hospital.
He added that oxygen generators were targeted at night, and now there are only two inexperienced surgeons available to operate on patients. They had to start operations despite their lack of experience, as there were 20 wounded in need for urgent care, he said.
Abu Safiya called on human rights organizations and international institutions to take action to stop the Israeli war crimes that have become a daily routine in Gaza.
For its part, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip called on international institutions on Thursday to take action to protect hospitals from the “blatant Israeli aggression.”
This came in a statement by the ministry, following the Israeli army’s targeting of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, which has been witnessing a genocide since October 5.
The ministry said that “Kamal Adwan Hospital was targeted by IOF drones, resulting in the martyrdom of a child and the injury of a number of medical staff and patients.”
“The martyred child Mahmoud Abu Al-Aish, 16, was a patient in a wheelchair, and was on his way to the radiology department when he was targeted,” the ministry explained.
