Troops raid Kamal Adwan hospital and assault patients and medical staff after bombing cuts oxygen supplies to vulnerable children

Israeli forces stormed the last operational hospital in the besieged north Gaza. The attack on the Kamal Adwan hospital, located in Beit Lahia northwest of Jabalia, was launched around 2am local time, shortly after a WHO delegation left the hospital.

It began with air strikes targeting the hospital and its courtyards, including the medical oxygen generator, said Dr. Munir al-Bursh, the director general of the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza.

The bombing led to the death of children inside the hospital and wounded medical staff. “Instead of receiving aid, we receive tanks… which are shelling the [hospital] building,” said Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital.

    I don’t think they are protected because of their religion. I think after WW2 everyone (not arabic countries obviously) was protective of them and overlooked anything they were doing.
