Israeli forces raided Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, detaining its director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, and forcibly evacuating patients and staff. Fires broke out during the operation, with volunteers struggling to control the blaze as casualties mounted.
Israel claims the hospital was being used as a Hamas stronghold, while Gaza’s Health Ministry and the World Health Organization condemned the assault, warning of grave risks to displaced patients. With Kamal Adwan out of service, all three public hospitals in northern Gaza are now non-operational, leaving thousands without access to medical care.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to deepen as international outcry grows over the destruction of critical infrastructure.
