In an earlier post, we referenced reports that Israeli troops surrounded Kamal Adwan hospital – the last functioning hospital in Gaza’s north – last night.
Gaza’s health ministry said hundreds of patients and staff have been detained in north Gaza’s last functioning hospital.
“Israeli forces have stormed and are present inside Kamal Adwan Hospital” in the city of Jabalia, the ministry said in a statement.
“They are detaining hundreds of patients, medical staff and some displaced individuals from neighbouring areas who sought refuge in the hospital from continuous bombardment,” it added.
The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said his staff have lost contact with personnel at the facility since reports of the Israeli raid surfaced this morning.
