On day 449 of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the Israeli occupation forces have committed two massacres across the enclave, murdering 48 Palestinians and injuring 52 others in 24 hours only.
This brings the total recorded death toll to 45,484 Palestinians killed, with 108,090 injured, since October 7, 2023.
While some martyrs were transferred to the very few partionally fundtioning hospitals across the territory, countless others remain trapped beneath the rubble, pleading for rescue that might not arrive due to Israeli obstruction and bombardment.
North Gaza
In the northern district, two Palestinians were killed and another was injured in the Israeli bombardment of Sarari Street in Jabalia.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning, a significant number of displaced Palestinians and medical staff fled Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia and arrived to the vicinity of Halima al-Saadiya school in al-Nazla, Jabalia, before heading toward westernmost Gaza City.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip said on Friday evening that the fate of the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, Hussam Abu Safiya, and some of the medical staff there, remains unknown.
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) conducted on Friday a harrowing assault on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, setting five of its sections on fire after raiding it, abducting patients and medical staff, and forcing them to strip.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the fire had begun spreading to all buildings of the hospital, adding that the occupation forces burned the operations and surgery sections, as well as the laboratory, maintenance, and emergency units.
Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza has been under severe Israeli attacks since the start of "Israel's" war on #Gaza.
