Exterminating a hospital

Al-Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif describes the situation in Kamal Adwan Hospital by saying it is being exterminated now as Israeli occupation forces are intensifying their attacks on the hospital, targeting its buildings directly without a prior warning.

Footage from inside Kamal Adwan Hospital shows the ICU and neonatal ward and patients sheltering in the corridors after the Israeli occupation army ordered the hospital, the only functioning hospital in northern Gaza, to evacuate immediately under the threat of bombing.

The Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza is under dire circumstances as it’s under constant Israeli bombardment following the occupation order to evacuate the hospital under the threat of bombing, where patients and medical staff are taking shelter in the corridors.

Shrapnel from explosions spread across the departments of Kamal Adwan Hospital after the Israeli occupation detonated the booby-trapped “robot” near the hospital, according to a local journalist.

Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, shared the last message before contact was lost with the media staff at the hospital after the Israeli military occupation demanded the immediate evacuation of the hospital under threat of bombing.

Relentless Israeli airstrikes caused severe damage to Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip and there’s no let up with the Israel army determined to make north Gaza into a wasteland as part of their so-called ‘General’s Plan’ at displacement and changing the geography of the area.

Israeli forces have bombed a tent housing Palestinian journalists near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing two and wounding nine others while burning them alive.

At least nine journalists were injured. They are Ahmed Mansour, Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed Al-Agha, Mohammad Fayek, Abdallah Al-Attar, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qdeih, and Ali Eslaih.

At least two of the wounded journalists are in critical condition, one of them with severe burns and the other with a head injury from shrapnel.

In a disturbing footage circulating on social media, journalist Ahmed Mansout can be seen consumed by fire as people and rescue workers tried desperately to put it out. Mansour is a father and a journalist for Palestine Today.

“(Israeli) Missiles burned Colleague Ahmed Mansour and is still in intensive care, suffering from severe burns as a result of the targeting of the tent where he is sitting in the journalists’ camp at Nasser Hospital,” Wael Abo Omar, a Palestinian journalist in the blockaded enclave, said on X.

Mahmoud Bassam, a photojournalist based in Gaza, said Mansour “needs a miracle” to recover from the severe burns.
