Another barbaric and horrific attack on Gaza’s civilians and healthcare system. The Israeli military raided and burned Kamal Adwan Hospital in North Gaza, destroying most wards and forcibly evacuating staff and patients. Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that dozens of hospital staff, including the director, have been detained, with the fate of many patients still unknown. The UN’s WHO has condemned Israel’s actions as the “systematic dismantling” of Gaza’s health system, calling it a “death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians.”

Targeting hospitals is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime under the Geneva Conventions, which mandate the protection of medical facilities during conflict. 

These are war crimes, and Israel must be condemned for its continued war crimes and acts of genocide.
