The Ministry of Health in Gaza has issued a plea for assistance at the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza following an Israeli raid that severely impacted the facility's operations. The ministry is urgently seeking individuals with surgical skills to join the hospital's staff in order to provide critical medical care to the wounded and patients.
According to the ministry, the hospital is facing a shortage of supplies and medical staff, with most physicians either detained or expelled by Israeli forces. Currently, only one pediatric doctor remains at the hospital to cover all specialties, highlighting the urgent need for additional medical personnel.
In response to the situation, the ministry has called on international organizations to dispatch surgical teams to the hospital promptly to support the ongoing medical efforts.
An Israeli military official confirmed that troops had conducted a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital last week following intense fighting in the area. While the official stated that there were no firefights inside the hospital, weapons and ammunition were reportedly found on the hospital grounds.
During the operation, the IDF detained over 100 individuals, including at least 30 medical staff members. This development has further strained the hospital's capacity to provide essential medical care to those in need.
The Ministry of Health's appeal underscores the critical need for immediate assistance at Kamal Adwan Hospital to ensure that patients receive the necessary medical attention and treatment. The situation remains fluid, and efforts are underway to address the challenges facing the hospital and its patients.
