to report «iusnews»; The Gaza Health Ministry warned of a "massacre" at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Northern Gaza as Israeli forces surround it with tanks and snipers.
Bodies are piling up outside the hospital, where some 7,000 Palestinians are sheltering inside, Health Ministry Director-General Munir Al-Bursh said, adding that Israeli army attacks have already killed 108 civilians and injured dozens in the hospital’s vicinity, Al-Jazeera reported.
“We fear a massacre inside Kamal Adwan Hospital, as happened in [Al-Shifa Hospital] and the [Indonesian Hospital]”, Al-Bursh said.
Kamal Adwan Hospital is one of only six hospitals still operating in the Gaza Strip. The hospitals are struggling to treat hundreds of wounded per day with minimal resources and frequent power outages.
Journalists reporting from the scene said the vicinity of Kamal Adwan hospital, located in Jabalia, was continuously hit overnight with artillery shelling.
A drone strike targeting the Northern gate of the hospital just after midnight killed four people, according to local reports.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on October 7.
Israeli forces have targeted hospitals, residential neighbourhoods, ambulances, mosques, and other civilian infrastructure.
At least 16,000 people have been killed in the Israeli assault, according to Palestinian authorities, including more than 6,000 children.
