In Northern Gaza, Kamal Adwan Hospital issued a final plea for help after Israeli forces launched a fresh attack on it on Nov. 3, targeting its pediatric ward with artillery fire and seriously wounding a child who was recovering from surgery, Middle East Eye reported yesterday. Gaza’s health ministry said the call for help could be the hospital’s “last distress call,” adding that “it seems that a decision has been made to execute all staff who refused to evacuate the hospital.”
In a video message, the hospital’s director Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya reported that the strikes “reached every corner of the hospital,” hitting its water supplies, courtyard, and electricity network. The Israeli attacks wounded six people, including a 13-year-old girl who had just undergone an operation, he said. “She was hit by shrapnel, she was already injured and receiving treatment for her first injury,” Safiya said. “She was struck again in this attack, sustaining a serious abdominal injury.”
