Israeli forces stormed the last operational hospital in the besieged northern Gaza on Friday after laying waste to a densely packed refugee camp in a bombing campaign that killed scores of Palestinians.
The attack on the Kamal Adwan hospital, located in Beit Lahia, was launched around 2am local time, shortly after Israeli fighter jets carpet-bombed residential buildings in the nearby Jabalia camp and southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.
The assault on the hospital began with air strikes that hit the hospital and its courtyards, including the medical oxygen generator, said Dr. Munir al-Bursh, director general of the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza.
The bombing of the oxygen supply led to the death of children in the hospital and wounded medical staff, Bursh said.
“Instead of receiving aid, we receive tanks… which are shelling the [hospital] building,” Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital, said in a video published on his social media pages shortly after the bombing. Contact with him has been lost since.
