Ammon News - Occupation vehicles targeted Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip at dawn on Wednesday, causing a fire inside its intensive care unit.

The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, Hussam Abu Safiya, said: "We were surprised by the entry of vehicles and bulldozers into the vicinity of the hospital, which was preceded by a terrifying targeting of citizens' homes in the vicinity. We heard gunfire and shells without being able to do anything."

He added in a video recorded from in front of the department from which smoke could be seen: "Sudden and crazy gunfire was fired at the hospital with all kinds of weapons, and the occupation deliberately targeted the intensive care unit by firing at it clearly."

He continued, "We miraculously evacuated the patients who were on ventilators from the intensive care unit and the fire broke out inside it," noting that it is "the only department in the northern Gaza Strip."

Abu Safiya described the situation in the hospital, especially the intensive care unit, as "very catastrophic and still dangerous."

He pointed out that "the workers tried to put out the fire with simple tools, especially since the hospital has been suffering from a water shortage for 8 days after the occupation army targeted the tanks and the water network."

He added, "Now the intensive care unit is out of service and the situation is catastrophic. We have appealed to the world for more than 75 days to provide protection for the health system and its workers, but there is no response."

On a daily basis, the occupation targets Kamal Adwan Hospital. Last Monday, Quadcopter drones bombed the electric generators, causing a power outage and damage to the intensive care unit.
