Israeli forces have arrested the director and dozens of staff members of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, the last major functioning health facility in the area, according to the territory's ministry of health. The raid, which occurred after months of Israeli assaults on the hospital, has rendered the facility out of service, as confirmed by the World Health Organization.
Reports indicate that patients, including those on ventilators, were left inside the hospital following the raid. The whereabouts of the hospital director, Dr. Abu Safiya, and other staff members remain unclear, with eyewitnesses stating that Dr. Safiya was assaulted before being detained.
