'Israeli' strikes force complete shutdown of surgical services in Kamal Adwan hospital

Palestinian sources reported Thursday that 'Israeli' airstrikes targeted the third floor of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. The attack ignited a fire in a medical storage room, destroying essential medicines and medical supplies delivered just five days ago by a health organization.

Following the strike, Kamal Adwan Hospital announced a complete shutdown of all surgical services due to the ongoing aggression.

In a separate statement, Muneer Al-Barsh, Director General of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, described horrific massacres carried out by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in northern Gaza, often unknown to medical teams for up to 18 hours.

Al-Barsh shared that IOF isolated Palestinian families, setting fire to homes with people inside, preventing anyone from alerting emergency teams until hours later.

Al-Barsh added that 'Israeli' attacks are continuing to target shelters, leading to further civilian casualties. He confirmed that four patients and two children were killed following the strike on Kamal Adwan Hospital.

According to Al-Bursh, over 1,200 Palestinians in northern Gaza have lost their lives over the past 25 days amid an unrelenting blockade and siege on the area.
