WHO Condemns Israeli Military Raid on Gaza's Last Major Northern Hospital

The Kamal Adwan Hospital is now out of service following an Israeli operation, leaving critical patients and medical staff in peril.

  • The World Health Organization has strongly criticized the Israeli military raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, calling it a 'death sentence' for thousands in Gaza and reiterating its call for a ceasefire.
  • The raid has rendered the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza inoperable, with key departments reportedly burned and destroyed.
  • Israeli forces claim the hospital was being used as a Hamas stronghold, though no evidence has been provided; Hamas has categorically denied the accusation.
  • Approximately 60 health workers and 25 critically ill patients, including those on ventilators, remain in the hospital, while others were evacuated to non-functional facilities.
  • The hospital director and other staff have reportedly been detained by Israeli forces, with the assault occurring amidst widespread displacement and destruction across Gaza.
