The Euro-Mediterranean Human Right Monitor said that the occupation is systematically working to forcibly remove hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip from service, through direct and repeated military targeting, imposing a suffocating siege, and targeting, injuring and arresting patients, wounded and medical staff, as part of its efforts to destroy the last remaining necessities of life necessary for survival, in conjunction with its continuation of the crime of forced displacement against all Palestinian residents from the northern Gaza Strip.
The Euro-Med Monitor reported in a report: “The occupation army forces continued their military attacks against civilians in the Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip, launching violent raids targeting homes and streets before besieging Kamal Adwan Hospital, which is still partially operating with two other hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip.”
Euro-Med Monitor added that his field team documented the use of Palestinian detainees by the occupation army forces as human shields and sent them under threat to the hospital to inform its administration of the need for all displaced persons and accompanying patients to leave it to the hospital yard, and head towards an area where the occupation army forces are stationed, and upon their arrival, stressing: These forces arrested a number of them and forced the rest to forcibly displace towards the so-called Civil Administration checkpoint and from there to Gaza City.
“The occupation army also forced the Indonesian volunteer medical delegation at Kamal Adwan Hospital to leave without their vehicles,” he said.
The military attack launched by the occupation army in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital lasted for several hours, before withdrawing from the area, and it was found that there were between 30 and 50 martyrs in the streets and houses adjacent to the hospital.
Witnesses confirmed that the search for martyrs and injured in the vicinity of the hospital is still continuing, raising expectations of an increase in the number of martyrs in the area.
