Medical staff forced to leave Kamal Adwan Hospital after Israeli attacks

As we’ve been reporting, the Israeli army stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza under the cover of heavy artillery and machineguns. An ambulance was also targeted outside the facility while several patients were detained.

The hospital’s medical director described the situation in and around the hospital as catastrophic. On Thursday, Israeli drones shot and killed at least seven Palestinians inside the hospital.

A medical team from Indonesia was forced to evacuate the hospital after only recently having arrived there to provide assistance. “We just came from Kamal Adwan Hospital,” Faradina Sulistiyani, a general surgeon from the Medical Emergency Rescue Committee Indonesia, said. “There were two warnings for us to evacuate the hospital and they are heavily bombing the hospital now. There are a lot of medical staff and patients out there.”

Kamal Adwan Hospital completely evacuated

More disturbing reports are coming out from the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Among the many challenges is the heavy presence of the Israeli military, the armoured vehicles, tanks and quadcopters are a very visible presence monitoring the area and shooting at any moving object, whether within the area or inside the facility.

The entire facility has been completely evacuated by the Israeli military. In the early hours of today, the military ordered the director of the hospital to evacuate everyone from the hospital and go through a checkpoint leaving the area.

At that particular checkpoint, 70 people were detained and taken to unknown area for interrogation.


Israeli military denies targeting Kamal Adwan Hospital

As we’ve been reporting, attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital this morning by Israeli forces killed at least 29 people, including hospital staff. The Israeli military has now come forward with a denial, saying it did not target or enter the northern Gaza hospital.

In a statement, the army said it would “continue to operate against terror infrastructure and terrorists” in northern Gaza, including “adjacent to” the hospital.

Back to flat out lies, it doesn't matter anyway. Even if they would admit the truth, the US will continue to protect the IDF with "concerns".
