Situation at Kamal Adwan Hospital ‘much worse’
Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the last remaining hospitals in northern Gaza, has been again targeted by the Israeli military.
As far as we know from medical officials in Kamal Adwan Hospital, a floor containing the remaining medical supplies was targeted by Israeli artillery with no sort of warning. This will hamper the ability of the hospital to operate, even with the very limited medical capacity they had.
We also heard from the director, who said the situation at the hospital is getting much worse, especially in light of the unprecedented Israeli attacks in the vicinity of the hospital itself. Many injured people have been dying on the way to the hospital after being reported injured from Israeli air strikes.
The director emphasised that the attack has injured four people who were inside receiving medical treatment. It also rendered the hospital’s dialysis department out of service, which will have further repercussions on the conditions of the wounded and patients there.
The real question is, why Israel is still banning the flow of medical supplies to that hospital?
Catastrophic conditions at Kamal Adwan Hospital: No doctors, destroyed supplies and critical patients
Eid Sabbah, the director of nursing at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, has described the situation inside the facility as catastrophic.
“The hospital has no medical teams – doctors, surgeons, orthopaedics. More than 33 people between doctors and nurses have also been arrested,” Sabbah told Al Jazeera.
The Israeli army has destroyed oxygen and electricity stations as well as the hospital’s main water pump and ambulances, Sabbah said. “The things that we have are things that can’t keep people alive,” he said.
About 120 wounded patients are still inside, a third of whom need immediate surgery. But there are only three doctors left, including two graduates who are not able to operate, the doctor said.
Five days ago, a delegation from the World Health Organization arrived with a small amount of fuel for the generators to operate and some medical supplies, but “immediately after the delegation left the hospital on the same night, the Israeli army stormed the hospital, destroyed a lot of things inside, destroyed the medical supplies that we had received,” he said.
UN condemns attack on Gaza hospital; vital medical supplies bombed
The third floor of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza has been bombed today, resulting in the loss of crucial medical supplies delivered five days ago, says Stephane Dujarric, the UN secretary-general’s spokesman.
“This and the delivery had been done by the United Nations through a joint mission of the World Health Organization,” Dujarric said.
“Hospitals are under assault and rescue teams are unable to work due to the arrest of personnel and the confiscation of essential equipment, including ambulances and a fire truck. The scale of destruction is overwhelming affecting nearly every area of the Gaza Strip in the north.”
