Israeli warplanes bombed the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza early Thursday, hitting the facility's third floor.
The attack sparked a fire in a warehouse stocked with vital medicines and medical supplies, received only five days ago from the World Health Organization.
Following the airstrike, medical authorities at Kamal Adwan announced the complete suspension of surgical services due to the extensive damage and ongoing security risks. The suspension of operations further strains the region's fragile healthcare infrastructure, already struggling with shortages and relentless bombardment.
In a related incident, Israeli armored vehicles advanced towards the nearby Indonesian Hospital, reportedly firing directly at the facility and its surroundings. Local sources reported ongoing gunfire, which has heightened concerns for the safety of patients, medical staff, and civilians in the area.
The World Health Organization and other international bodies have consistently called for the protection of healthcare facilities in conflict zones, emphasizing the essential role of hospitals in humanitarian aid. (ILKHA)
