At Kamal Adwan Hospital, ‘loud explosions persist, shrapnel flying around’
Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in besieged northern Gaza, has issued another video statement from inside the facility, which has come under repeated Israeli attack.
Here’s what he said:
“I address you from inside the ICU department which was targeted by the Israeli army yesterday.
“The department came under a wave of shelling and direct gunfire. Both the gynaecology and maternity departments were directly impacted. As we speak, shelling on the hospital has not stopped. Since the early morning hours, the Israeli army has continued to pound the hospital’s yards and outer walls.
“Loud explosions persist and shrapnel is flying around, causing panic among the patients.
“We wonder why a medical facility is being pounded.
“We have demanded and still demand that the whole world provides us with the protection guaranteed under the Geneva Conventions, but the whole world still ignores us. All hospitals and medical staff are supposed to be protected under these conventions.
“Hospitals are still being targeted and medical staff slaughtered before the eyes of the whole world.
“Regretfully all our appeals have fallen on deaf ears.”
Smell of blood everywhere after Israeli warplane hits north Gaza school
I’m now standing inside the destroyed classroom in the Musa bin Nusair School in the Daraj neighbourhood to the east of Gaza City, where Israeli fighter jets hit the school without any warning.
At least eight Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured and taken to Ahli Hospital. There’s a hole in the roof of the classroom where an Israeli bomb hit and made a crater in the floor.
This was once a place of learning, but was housing displaced people from across the Gaza Strip – who ended up being brutally killed. Parts of the rubble can be seen soaked with blood in the classroom and the smell of blood is everywhere.
The situation is getting more dire in Gaza. The attacks are not only concentrated on the north, although the Israeli military is mostly focusing on hitting the northern parts.
