Al-Azhar Al-Sharif strongly condemned Saturday the international silence towards the massacres committed by the "terrorist entity in the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the burning of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, targeting patients and doctors, killing dozens of innocent people, arresting doctors, paramedics and nurses, forcing them to take off their clothes and kidnapping them to unknown locations.

Al-Azhar said in a statement that these actions are "a full-fledged war crime, committed only by merciless and immoral gangs, and monsters devoid of all meanings of humanity."

The statement stressed that the targeting of patients and injured in hospitals and healthcare centers is a "heinous moral crime" that will be recorded in history as well as a shame committed by the Israeli "terrorists and those who assist them, provide them weapons, and support them in politics," enabling them to commit more crimes.

"Al-Azhar reminds the world that this brutal Zionist monster, devoid of mercy and humanity, has committed all forbidden war crimes against the innocent Palestinian people, amidst deliberate marginalization of what is happening in the Gaza Strip, and without any international or Arab action," the statement continued.

The statement stressed that the enemy remains reassured that its crimes will go unpunished and only result in meetings and policies that are void of any value, stressing that there must be other considerations for alternative ways to bring peace to Palestine.

The Health Ministry in Gaza warned on Saturday of a "countdown" until the deaths of patients and the injured that have been forcibly transferred to the Indonesian Hospital, where no water, power, food, or supplies are available, amid the detention of its medical staff as well, making it almost impossible for patients to get the medical treatment they need. 

The ministry also reported that occupation forces have detained the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. On Friday, the ministry stated that the occupation had taken dozens of medical staff, including Abu Safiya, to an interrogation center following the burning of the hospital.

In an alarming escalation, the IOF launched an airstrike in the vicinity of the hospital, after storming its premises and forcibly displacing 300 patients. Many of these patients, who were dependent on life-saving medical devices, were left in the open, exposed to the harsh cold, further endangering their fragile health.

The director of field hospitals at the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Marwan al-Hams, told Al Mayadeen that the IOF continues to besiege Kamal Adwan Hospital and burn it, which is considered "the last operating hospital in the northern Gaza Strip."

Additionally, al-Awda Hospital has been subjected to direct targeting by the occupation for over 80 days, while Gaza province faces a severe shortage of hospital bed capacity, as confirmed by the ministry yesterday.
