In the latest toll issued by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 429 of the ongoing genocide, the number of martyrs has reached 44,708, with 106,050 wounded since October 7, 2023.

The Israeli occupation committed four massacres across the Gaza Strip in 24 hours, killing 44 Palestinians and injuring 74 others, according to the Ministry.

While some of the victims were transported to the few partially functioning hospitals in the Strip, most of them remain trapped beneath the rubble, with almost impossible means to get out, amid the continuous Israeli obstruction of rescue operations. 

IOF bombard Kamal Adwan Hospital over 100 times

On Saturday, over a hundred Israeli shells, rockets, and drone strikes targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, according to the hospital's director, Dr. Houssam Abu Safiya.

During a press release, Dr. Abu Safiya described the western wing of the hospital as "horrific" following Israeli attacks, which have severely impacted several departments, including operation rooms, roofs, courtyards, and windows in the neonatal intensive care units. 

The damage, according to the director, is extremely severe and poses significant hazards following the destruction of water tanks, oxygen generators, and water pumps, and the targeting of fuel tanks, leading to the ignition of a fire, which was extinguished by one of the employees using sand. 

It is estimated that it would take at least 10 hours, if not a full day, to carry out urgent repairs, he further stated, calling for the need to coordinate repair operations as fast as possible.

Dr. Abu Safiya also noted that three Palestinians were injured inside the hospital as a result of the aggression, the cause of which "is still unclear and is very worrying," urging an immediate halt to the devastating attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Meanwhile, Munir al-Barsh, the director general of health in Gaza, said the situation in Kamal Adwan threatens the lives of children and patients whose survival hinges on oxygenation.
