Al Awda Hospital in the Tal al-Zaatar area in Jabalia camp is the last medical stronghold in the northern Gaza governorate, as the occupation has been besieging those inside it for 90 days, amid catastrophic health and humanitarian conditions.
Earlier, the occupation forces surrounded the Indonesian Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, and demanded that those inside evacuate it immediately.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces surrounded the hospital and continued to fire in its vicinity and ordered those inside to evacuate it immediately, explaining that most of those trapped inside the hospital were children and women, in addition to patients, the wounded and medical staff.
The occupation forces' aggression against hospitals comes within the framework of targeting the health system in the Strip, as it had burned Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Strip, which is one of the largest hospitals in that area, and provided its services to more than 400 thousand people a few days ago.
The occupation army then forced patients, the wounded and medical staff, including the hospital director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, and the press crews to evacuate the hospital by force, in conjunction with the firing of shells and bullets towards it, as the fire destroyed the departments of operations, the laboratory, ambulance, emergency and reception.
The Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air, since October 7, 2023, leaving a humanitarian disaster, amid a severe shortage of basic aid, in addition to the severe cold that increases the suffering of civilians and exacerbates the difficult conditions facing the population.
