The Israeli army blocked a UN convoy carrying fuel and medical supplies meant to support the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza amid ongoing hostilities, the hospital’s director said, according to Anadolu.

In a video statement, Hussam Abu Safiya said that the World Health Organisation (WHO) delegation informed us that the Israeli army denied entry to a convoy carrying critical fuel and medical supplies, forcing it to return to southern Gaza.

He said: “There is a severe shortage of medical supplies needed to treat the injuries arriving at the hospital. We are operating at a minimum capacity with limited resources.”

“Daily operations occur under constant bombing, threats, and fear, with shrapnel landing in hospital sections due to nearby strikes,” he added.
