World Health Organisation chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says a team from the UN health agency and its partners reached Kamal Adwan Hospital two days ago, “amid hostilities and explosions in the vicinity of the hospital during the mission.”
He said Israeli authorities have arbitrarily denied four missions to the facility in the past week, including the re-deployment of an international medical team that had evacuated from the hospital on December 6 due to hostilities.
“Recent attacks have further damaged the oxygen supply, generators, and broken windows and doors of the patients’ rooms,” Tedros wrote.
“The conditions in the hospital are simply appalling. We urge for the protection of health care and for this hell to stop! Ceasefire!”
Israeli forces continue to pound Gaza, killing at least 10 people in Gaza City and knocking out the power generators at the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
