Early this Saturday, Israeli tanks opened fire on the three main hospitals in northern Gaza: the Indonesian, the Kamal Adwan and the Al Awda. This attack is added to that of last Friday night, when an Israeli attack on the Jabalia refugee camp killed more than thirty people and injured several dozen more.
Furthermore, Israel has murdered two people in the Lebanese town of Jounieh, north of Beirut, Lebanese official sources reported, after attacking the vehicle with a drone.
So far around 500 people have died in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, since Israeli troops resumed their offensive in this area more than fifteen days agoas sources from the enclave’s Ministry of Health informed EFE.
“The occupation continues its siege of the northern Gaza Strip for 15 days, preventing entry and exit from it, and preventing food and water from reaching almost a quarter of a million besieged people“, denounced a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health.
“The Israeli occupation is intensifying its attacks against the health system in the north of the Gaza Strip, by besieging and directly attacking the three hospitals in the north during the last hours,” denounced a spokesperson for the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Israel attacks several hospitals in the Strip
The director of the Indonesian hospital, Marwan Sultanreported that Israeli artillery attacked the second and third floors of the hospital this morning, leaving them without electricity. “The occupation forces are bombing the hospital and there are gserious risks for medical staff and patients“he warned.
“There are some 40 people admittedand some of them are in critical condition and need oxygen. We ask for help from the international humanitarian community,” Sultan claimed in a video recorded from the hospital.
Sources from the Ministry of Health also indicated that Israeli forces besieged up to four shelters near the Indonesian hospital.
Kamal Adwan Hospital, for its part, warned that your center can no longer accommodate more patients because it is completely full.
In addition, the internet blackout that northern Gaza has suffered since Friday night is making communication between the different hospitals difficult.
“We demand the evacuation of very critical cases to the hospitals in Gaza City. The entry of food for medical staff and patients in the (northern) hospitals and the immediate entry of international missions (the World Health Organization Health and the International Red Cross) and remain with the medical staff inside the hospital,” claimed the Gaza Ministry of Health.
The Israeli Army, for its part, said in a statement that in the last few hours its troops “eliminated several terrorists in hand-to-hand combat” and in air strikes.
In the central Gaza Strip, Israeli forces directed a series of bombing raids against “military buildings used by Hamas for shooting and planting explosives.”
In Rafah, at the southern end of the enclave, fighters from the Nahal Brigade “eliminated two squads of terrorists” who, they claim, posed a threat to the soldiers
