After besieging and shelling the hospital for several days, Israeli forces have now stormed Kamal Adwan. This is claimed by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, which is led by Hamas. Spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said in a telegram that Israeli forces gathered men – including medical personnel – in the hospital’s courtyard. He expresses fear that they may be arrested. The message is quoted by Al Jazeera. – We call on the UN, the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross to act immediately to save the lives of those in the hospital, he added. The Kamal Adwan hospital was besieged beforehand by Israeli soldiers, according to aid organisations. The IDF has not yet commented on the claim. 364 attacks on health services The UN has commented on the fact that the hospital has been attacked in recent days. – The practice of medicine is under attack, said Tlaleng Mofokeng, UN special rapporteur on the right to health. At least 364 attacks on health services have been recorded in occupied Gaza since October 7, 2023, according to the UN. More than 50 health facilities and 190 ambulances are also affected. – As a practicing doctor, I cannot fathom what my Gaza colleagues endure. They work while their colleagues and loved ones are under attack. Many have been killed while treating their patients. Several health workers have been injured, arrested and detained, including the director general of Gaza’s largest hospital, al-Shifa, who was arrested on 23 November. His whereabouts are unknown. Al-Indonesi hospital has reportedly been bombed 35 times since October 28, according to the UN. “A long nightmare” – It had been a long nightmare. I have seen many colleagues die, and countless children lose their lives unnecessarily, said Abu Safyia. He is MedGlobal’s last doctor at Kamal Adwan Hospital, writes ABCNews. – Kamal Adwan’s team is exhausted. We have done everything we can for our patients and society for as long as we could, he writes in the emergency message to MedGlobal. – Evacuation is the only way right now. In November, three doctors were killed in an Israeli air strike against the hospital. Two of them worked for Doctors Without Borders, aid organizations said. Last week it was reported that the hospital lost power. It was also stated that all medical equipment had been destroyed by Israeli soldiers and that it was no longer possible to help the wounded.
