The director of one of the few functioning hospitals in northern Gaza, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, has issued a distress call as the facility faces a critical shortage of medical supplies and food. The Kamal Adwan hospital is struggling to cope with the influx of patients, with staff fatigued and resources running low.
Dr. Abu Safiya described the situation as catastrophic, citing the lack of capabilities, tools, and medical methods. The recent Israeli airstrike on a school serving as a shelter for displaced people in the Jabalya refugee camp has further strained the hospital's intensive care unit, with a significant number of casualties arriving for treatment.
