Dr Hussam Abu Safia, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, says Israeli tanks and bulldozers yesterday abruptly approached the western gate of the besieged facility under heavy gunfire, Al Jazeera reports.
Bullets penetrated the intensive care unit, the maternity department, and the specialised surgery department, he said in a statement released today, adding patients had been evacuated to the hospital corridors, but some bullets hit inside the departments, creating fear and chaos.
“Additionally, one of the generators was targeted and completely put out of service due to a fire. There were also attempts to hit the fuel tank, but fortunately, it did not explode,” he said.
