At this time… occupation forces are storming and present inside Kamal Adwan Hospital.

They are detaining hundreds of patients, medical staff, and some displaced people from nearby neighborhoods who sought refuge in the hospital to escape continuous bombing.

Food, medicine, and necessary medical supplies for saving lives are not being provided for the wounded and patients in the hospital.

The situation inside the hospital is catastrophic in every sense of the word.

Live scenes of the bombing of Kamal Adwan Hospital!! This is the scene at Kamal Adwan Hospital in the besieged northern Gaza Strip! Patients and children are running amidst the Israeli occupation’s bombing of the hospital and water tanks! As if the siege was not enough, and patients and doctors must die of thirst! Can we imagine this scene in Boston Children’s Hospital, or Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, or Children’s National Hospital in Washington?! This is the scene in hospitals in northern Gaza, where “calm for the comfort of patients” is supposed to prevail, and hospitals and medical staff are protected under all international laws and conventions.
@AbujomaaGaza:
Young Dr Mohammad al Nimnim was one of these three people used by israeli occupation forces as human shields in #Jabalia! He was kidnapped along with hundreds of civilians after they had been forced out of the blockaded refugee camp! He was used as a human shield for 10 days! When he was released, he walked 10 metres from the military checkpoint and an Israeli soldier shot and killed him without any reason! RIP Dr Mohammad!

Dr. Abu Safiya says Israel is using a new weapon with quadcopters that have tiny shrapnel barely visible to the naked eye to create damage to internal organs.

From his hospital bed in the ICU at Kamal Adwan Hospital, surrounded by injured and standing medical staff, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya delivered a powerful speech. He condemned the Israeli occupation army for directly targeting the hospital for seven consecutive days and using advanced drone bombs to injure healthcare workers and disrupt essential services. Dr. Abu Safiya called for the immediate release of detained medical staff and urged the international community to stop the ongoing bloodbath in northern Gaza, reaffirming the unwavering commitment of his team to provide care despite unimaginable challenge

The Israeli army riddles with bullets the only remaining ambulance able to transport the injured to Kamal Adwan Hospital, north Gaza. The medical facility has been under siege for 2 months, doctors and patients killed/ kidnapped as part of mass expulsion.
22 Dec 2024: Footage from Kamal Adwan Hospital shows critically ill patients in the ICU and neonatal ward who cannot be moved quickly. Other videos show patients sheltering in hospital corridors under heavy shelling and sniper fire. At the same time, the Israeli army is detonating explosive robots and bombing the hospital while ordering everyone to evacuate.

22 Dec 2024: What is unfolding at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza is nothing short of a nightmare. The Israeli army has ordered the complete evacuation of doctors and staff, abandoning vulnerable patients to their fate amidst relentless bombing. Booby-trapped robots now encircle the hospital, transforming it into a lethal prison where survival is not an option. This is not just cruelty—it’s pure, unrelenting horror.

@MosabAbuToha
For exactly 10 hours, we have been posting about the attack on Kamal Odwan Hospital, from targeting the main gate to blowing up a booby-trapped vehicle and opening fire at the patients and doctors. And not a single “major” (or even minor) western TV or newspaper mentioned a thing. Not a thing. Not even the attack on a tent in the quad of a school shelter that killed eight people four hours ago. Good night Shame on you!

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyeh and his team have begun the impossible task of evacuating patients from Kamal Adwan Hospital to the Indonesian Hospital after receiving verbal evacuation orders via loudspeakers. There are no ambulances to transport intensive care patients or NICU babies in incubators.
7 Dec 2024: Palestinian doctor Nasef Abu Al-Amreen, his wife, and children were killed in an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza.
22 Dec 2024: Dr. Abu Safiya: this might be our last message. We are being attacked with all sorts of weapons from all sides.
22 Dec 2024: “last call So that Kamal Adwan Hospital does not meet the same fate as Al-Shifa Hospital… Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip is under fire and the Israeli occupation forces insist on evacuating it by directly targeting medical staff, patients and hospital buildings.”
24 dec 2024: An Israeli quadcopter drone strike hit near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza during a live broadcast with Dr. Hossam Abu Safia. The hospital remains under heavy attack, following last night’s detonation of explosive-laden robots at its gates, endangering lives of patients and medical teams.

24 Dec 2024: Hospitals in northern Gaza under Israeli attack – Kamal Adwan Hospital: Israeli military reportedly destroyed an explosive-laden robot near the facility, causing injuries among patients and their companions. Medical staff were forcibly evacuated, leaving critical cases without care. – Indonesian Hospital: Israeli forces are reportedly forcing the evacuation of all patients and medical personnel, further straining the collapsing healthcare system in northern Gaza. – Al-Awda Hospital: The third floor of the hospital was directly targeted by an Israeli strike, causing severe damage and spreading panic among patients and staff. The hospital is also under direct gunfire from Israeli army tanks, leaving medical teams unable to move safely inside the facility. Hospitals in northern Gaza are under relentless attack, with critical healthcare services now on the brink of collapse.

For exactly 24 hours, patients and doctors in Kamal Odwan Hospital were shot at, and even the main gate was targeted – not even a single news article about it! The last hospital in Gaza is under fire – patients and staff are being exterminated.
24 Dec 2024: @HossamShabat
The Israeli occupation army detonated two explosive robots in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital, causing massive damages to the facility and its surroundings. Witnesses described the explosions as extremely violent, lighting up the entire area. The blasts resulted in over 20 injuries among medical staff and hospitalized patients.
25 Dec 2024: This Christmas, please remember them.

IOF Propaganda Statement justifying its attack:

IDF: Following prior IDF and ISA intelligence regarding the presence of terrorist infrastructure and operatives carrying out terror activities in the area of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabaliya, soldiers of the 401st Brigade under the command of the 162nd Division began operating in the area in the last few hours. The Kamal Adwan Hospital serves as a Hamas terrorist stronghold in northern Gaza, from which terrorists have been operating throughout the war. Since the most recent targeted operation by the IDF and ISA in the area in October 2024, it has once again become a key stronghold for terrorist organizations and continues to be used as a hideout for terrorist operatives. This is despite repeated calls by the IDF to refrain from exploiting the hospital for military activities. The troops are conducting targeted operations in the area while mitigating harm to uninvolved civilians, patients, and medical personnel. The Hamas terrorist organization systematically violates international law by abusing civilian infrastructure and the Gazan population as shields for its terrorist activities. In order to mitigate harm to the civilian population in the area, IDF troops facilitated the secure evacuation of civilians, patients, and medical personnel prior to the operation. This was coordinated by COGAT with local officials in the health authorities and international organizations, and conducted via defined evacuation routes and with ambulances for transportation to additional hospitals in the Gaza Strip to ensure continued medical treatment. The IDF and COGAT continue to make extensive efforts to enable patients to continue receiving care in other hospitals by facilitating the evacuation of patients from the Kamal Adwan Hospital, the ongoing transfer of supplies, food, and fuel to the area, and the restoration of operations of hospitals in the area, while maintaining ongoing communication with hospital officials. The IDF will continue to act in accordance with international law regarding medical facilities, including those where Hamas has chosen to embed its military infrastructure and conduct terrorist activities in blatant violation of international law.

28 Dec 2024: Housam Abo Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been arrested on allegations of refusing to leave the injured and patients without medical care.

Nurse Waleed Al-Boudi testified about the arrest of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, describing him as a man of immense humanity and dedication. Dr. Hussam was taken from Al-Fakhoura School after refusing to leave his medical staff behind, despite being given the option to leave. He stayed to ensure the safety of his team and attempted to lead them out, but was met with aggression and ultimately arrested. Al-Boudi appealed to the world and human rights organizations to stand with Dr. Hussam, emphasizing his role in inspiring patience and resilience in North Gaza. “We cried blood on the doors of Kamal Adwan Hospital,” he said, recounting the moment they were forcibly expelled by the occupation forces.

The Israeli army arrested Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in a tense operation by surrounding him with tanks. Israel released footage showing the occupation of Kamal Adwan Hospital, an act considered a war crime under international law, and the evacuation of patients and medical staff through a tank-surrounded route. The footage shows Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya being tracked by a drone as he left the hospital and directed towards a tank via loudspeakers, shortly before being arrested. Additionally, the footage reveals the Israeli army bombing the hospital’s surroundings, besieging it, and then evacuating all staff and patients before occupying the hospital. This operation rendered Kamal Adwan Hospital out of service, completely paralyzing healthcare services in northern Gaza.
