Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital Warns Children Will Die If Forced to Evacuate

HeadlineOct 11, 2024

In Gaza, medical authorities report Israeli attacks killed at least 63 Palestinians Thursday as Israel continues its siege on the northern strip. The situation at three hospitals in northern Gaza remains critical as medical workers struggle to respond to forced expulsions ordered by Israel. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, filmed this video from inside the intensive care unit Thursday.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya: “We are here under threat, because our hospital will go out of service due to the continuous threats to evacuate the hospital and due to the lack of entry of fuel to the Kamal Adwan Hospital. From here, from the middle of the intensive care unit, I call on all the international organizations and humanitarian organizations and the international community to stop the occupiers from implementing their decision to evacuate the Kamal Adwan Hospital and ceasing its services. Stopping the Kamal Adwan Hospital from providing services means the ending of these children’s lives.”
