Israeli forces have left a trail of destruction in Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last functioning medical facility in northern Gaza.

According to Al Jazeera, the male medical staff were detained, leaving patients with no one to treat them.

“This is the 14th time the hospital comes under Israeli fire,” hospital spokesperson Hisham Sakani said. “Our doctors are now in Israeli detention, their families were killed.”

Doctors say the attack also destroyed the oxygen station of the hospital, leading to the deaths of two babies in the ICU.

“It is a catastrophic situation as patients and the wounded are left on the floor without any medical attention. We are facing grave dangers and here I am once again sending an SOS to the whole world. We pray to God almighty our plight comes to an end and Israeli massacres ceased,” they said.  

The doctors added, “The entire population north of Gaza Strip are now without any medical service after all the hospitals have been destroyed and forced out of operation.”
