Israeli prime minister tells lawmakers he is taking ‘significant action through all channels to return our loved ones’
We mentioned in the opening summary that there are reports of the Israeli military attacking barely functioning hospitals in northern Gaza.
Al Jazeera is reporting that at least 20 patients and staff at the Kamal Adwan hospital in in northern Beit Lahiya were injured after the Israeli army detonated remote-controlled explosives in the health facility. Gaza’s health ministry was quoted as saying that Israeli bombing is targeting all the departments of the hospital “around the clock without stopping”. We have not yet been able to independently verify this information.
We currently have nearly 400 civilians inside the hospital, including babies in the neonatal unit, whose lives depend on oxygen and incubators. We cannot evacuate these patients safely without assistance, equipment, and time.
We are sending this message under heavy bombardment and direct targeting of the fuel tanks, which if hit will cause a large explosion and mass casualties of the civilians inside.
