Scene at North Gaza hospital under threat from Israeli forces

Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kahlout has been seeing casualties arrive at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, where staff say Israeli forces have ordered them to leave. Soldiers, meanwhile, continue their assault on the nearby Jabalia refugee camp.


‘For six days, Jabalia under siege from all directions’: Rescuer

As we’ve been reporting, the Israeli army has been laying siege to the Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza.

Al Jazeera has spoken to Muitaz Ayoub, an ambulance of Gaza’s civil defence based in the camp. Here’s what he had to say: “For the past six days, the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza has been under a heavy siege imposed by the Israeli army from all directions. This is coupled with intensive aerial bombardment by Israeli warplanes, drone attacks and artillery shelling.

“These attacks have been uninterrupted, mostly targeting residential areas and sheltering centres. “The Israelis had issued warnings for residents to evacuate the entire Jabalia area, yet thousands of Palestinian civilians are holding their ground, be it in their ruined homes or sheltering centres."

“Both Kamal Adwan and al-Awda hospitals continue to serve our people, despite repeated threats by the Israelis to turn both hospitals into ruins just like what they did to al-Shifa Hospital."

“We repeatedly appeal to the world community to help maintain the few hospitals operating in Gaza and to continue providing minimum healthcare services to our people who are suffering under merciless bombardment and ruthless shelling by the Israelis."

“Dead bodies are decomposed and eaten by stray dogs and many survivors are left to bleed to their death. If those hospitals come out of service, it will be a disaster. The Israeli army continues to target civil defence and paramedic teams, preventing us from even reaching out to the victims, to recover the dead or help survivors. However, we will continue to serve our people no matter what."

“We reiterate our appeal to the Red Cross, WHO and the entire international community to at least help coordinate access for medical teams into the affected areas simply to help save lives.”
