Over a hundred Israeli shells, rockets, and drone strikes, have targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, the hospital's director, Dr. Houssam Abu Safiya, announced on Saturday. 

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 ten 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 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.

Horrific scenes unfold at Kamal Adwan Hospital after Israeli invasion

On Friday morning, Israeli units stormed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, forcibly evacuating medical staff and patients and detaining a large number of individuals present at the hospital, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.

The abductees, including medical staff, were taken to an undisclosed destination.

The head of Kamal Adwan Hospital Hussam Abu Safiya released a statement detailing the atrocities unfolding inside the hospital and in its vicinity.

Describing the situation inside and around the hospital as “catastrophic”, Abu Safiya maintained that there were scores of casualties, including four martyrs from the hospital's medical staff.

“No surgeons are left,” he further warned, adding that "the only medical team that was performing operations was the Indonesian medical delegation, and they were the first to be forced to leave toward a checkpoint."

“Medical supplies are running out, and there are hundreds of victims,” he said, reflecting on the size of the tragedy.
