Kamal Adwan: Israel is Determined to ‘Kill’ This Hospital

The Israeli occupation army is determined to close down the Kamal Adwan Hospital. They have planted barrel bombs among Palestinian homes around the only remaining medical facility in the north of the Gaza Strip.
An Israeli quadcopter has targeted the hospital with more than 10 deadly bombs with the military strikes becoming so bad that electricity was cut off as a result of bombing the generator of the hospital.
Director of Kamal Adwan Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya said that the hospital’s buildings, yard, and vicinity have been targeted since Monday, killing at least five civilians and injuring 29.
Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director-General of Palestine’s Ministry of Health in Gaza, reported that Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza lost power after Israeli occupation forces directly targeted its generators with a bomb dropped from a quadcopter drone.
Meanwhile Israeli snipers targeted the intensive care unit (ICU) at Kamal Adwan Hospital for the first time, according to Dr. Abu Safiyyah said. The attack shattered all the ICU windows and created a deadly environment for patients and staff.
“Snipers are stationed in elevated positions,” Dr. Abu Safiyyah explained. “Anyone moving inside the hospital wings risks getting shot,” marking a dangerous escalation in the ongoing bombardment of the hospital.
From Monday forward, relentless Israeli strikes targeted the Hospital and its surroundings making it impossible for medics to operate safely whilst disabling three of the hospital’s four ambulances and injuring two paramedics.
“We now treat some patients in the hospital corridors,” Dr. Abu Safiyyah said. The strikes have destroyed critical infrastructure, including electricity, water supplies, and oxygen systems. Repair efforts are impossible under continued targeting, leaving the hospital on the brink of collapse.
The hospital director called for urgent international intervention. “We need immediate protection for the health system and its workers. So far, no one has stepped in to help or condemned these attacks,” he added.
The Kamal Adwan Hospital, which serves women and children, faces life-threatening conditions for its staff and patients amid silence from global powers. Dr. Abu Safiyyah questioned the world’s inaction, saying: “What crime has this hospital committed while offering humanitarian services?”
The situation grows worse every hour as essential medical operations falter. Without swift action, the hospital may face complete devastation.
During its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, Israel has targeted hospitals and medical staff, causing the health sector to collapse. This was part of an Israeli plan to make Gaza uninhabitable and ethnically cleanse the Strip either through pushing Palestinians to leave and/or kill them.
