The Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza is now out of service after an Israeli raid severely damaged the facility, forcing the evacuation of patients and staff.
Northern Gaza ’s last remaining major hospital is now out of service after a raid by Israel i forces severely damaged the building and emptied its wards of patients and doctors. On Friday, Israel i forces raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza , putting some 75,000 Palestinians remaining in the north of the enclave at risk, the United Nations said. They also arrested the hospital’s prominent director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, accusing him of being a suspected “ Hamas terrorist operative.
” The raid has rendered the hospital “empty” of patients, some of whom are critically ill, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Those in critical condition were transferred to the Indonesian Hospital, “which is itself out of function,” WHO said. Some patients were also transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, WHO added. The UN said that WHO is planning a mission to the Indonesian Hospital to move the evacuated patients to southern Gaza for continued care. Mohammed Salha, director of Al Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, which is barely functioning and severely damaged due to recent airstrikes, told CNN Monday that Kamal Adwan Hospital is “totally out of service” and that his own medical facility has very little fuel and is overflowing with patients, despite limited supplies. “We have one surgeon who is only performing when a case is in a life-threatening situation,” Salha told CNN. “The health system in the north is completely deteriorated,” he said. “We are working to save what is left.” Salha said his hospital must wait for approval from the Israeli military to allow the Red Cross to move cases that require specialist treatment from the north of Gaza further south. The raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital came amid renewed Israeli aerial and ground operations in several parts of northern Gaza, aimed at targeting what the IDF called a resurgent Hamas presence in the area

The hospital director, who has been outspoken against Israel's assault on the facility, has been detained by Israeli forces. This attack appears to be the culmination of a campaign by Israel to conquer and destroy the hospital, which began in October 2024 during Israel's campaign of ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza.
