Some patients unable to be evacuated from Kamal Adwan Hospital
The situation in Kamal Adwan is escalating as the Israeli artillery shelling is targeting the reception and emergency department and the gate of Kamal Adwan. And this started yesterday.
The hospital is currently being evacuated. Unfortunately, there are some patients that are not able to evacuate because they’re directly connected to the machines, and if they are disconnected, they’re going to lose their lives.
We have been seeing footage and videos of people trying to help these people evacuate. Some of them were on the beds of the hospital, but unfortunately, these people do not know where they’re going to evacuate because they’re evacuating under fire.
More footage is emerging of children and other people who have been seeking refuge in the hospital.
And not only Kamal Adwan, also the director of al-Awda Hospital said that the situation in the hospital is dire. They have been trapped in the hospital for three days right now and there are 15 patients trapped and are unable to evacuate. Among them are two women that gave birth to two babies recently.
UNRWA suspends food distribution in Rafah
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said that food distribution in Gaza’s southern city were currently suspended due to lack of supplies and a lack of security.
Simultaneous Israeli assaults on the southern and northern edges of the Gaza Strip this month have caused a new exodus of hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, and sharply restricted the flow of aid, raising the risk of famine.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said in a statement on X that only seven out of its 24 health centres are operational. It also said that it had not received any medical supplies in the past 10 days due to “closures/disruptions” at the Rafah and Karm Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossings into Gaza.
Israel mounted a new push in central Gaza, bombarding towns in the north of the Palestinian enclave and saying it intended to broaden operations in Rafah despite US warnings of the risk of mass casualties in the southern city.
