GAZA, October 24, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces embarked on a siege on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, on Thursday evening.
Medical sources inside the hospital reported that Israeli military vehicles were firing upon the facility, which houses vulnerable children in need of urgent care.
Additionally, soldiers are preventing essential medical supplies from reaching the hospital. Currently, more than 15 patients are in critical condition, requiring surgeries that are increasingly difficult to perform due to the ongoing siege.
The Israeli occupation army has intensified its assault in northern Gaza amid a suffocating siege that has left tens of thousands of people without food and water.
The onslaught, which began on October 5, is the latest episode in Israel’s brutal offensive that has killed nearly 42,800 people, mostly women and children, and injured more than 100,400 since October 2023.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced nearly the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its atrocities against innocent civilians in Gaza.
