The only operational hospital in besieged northern Gaza was hit by multiple Israeli attacks on Wednesday night, according to a medical official. The Kamal Adwan Hospital, which serves 100,000 people, was targeted, causing significant damage to the facility. The hospital's director, Hussam Abu Safiya, expressed concern over the impact of the attacks on the already dire situation in the region.
Abu Safiya, one of two pediatricians remaining on the hospital's medical staff, highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by the facility, including a lack of essential medical supplies. The recent bombing of the hospital's third floor resulted in a fire that destroyed critical supplies provided by the World Health Organization just days earlier.
