Shortly after the @WHO-led mission to Kamal Adwan Hospital yesterday, the facility's third floor was reportedly hit again, injuring six children who are patients there. One child sustained a critical injury. Water tanks were damaged. Heavy bombardment persisted very close to the hospital, including when WHO was delivering aid. It is appalling that hospitals in #Gaza continue to be attacked, patients continue to be harmed, and health workers and humanitarians continue to work under life-threatening conditions.

⚠️ Northern Gaza: Internet and Telecommunication Networks Down, Hospitals ‘Drowning in Blood’ Reports indicate that internet and telecommunication networks are completely down in Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, with residents in Jabalia also facing communication difficulties. Israel appears to be plunging northern Gaza into a complete blackout while blocking humanitarian aid and enforcing collective starvation for nearly 400,000 Palestinians in the north as part of its brutal new offensive launched this month. The Director of Nursing at Kamal Adwan Hospital tells Drop Site that the “cutting off of telecommunications and internet services, along with the prevention of food and medicine and the intense random shelling across all areas of the Jabalia refugee camp, is signaling a major catastrophe.” This situation is “indicative of the ongoing ethnic cleansing, extermination, collective starvation, and forced displacement.” 📃Drop Site also received the following video message from a nurse at Kamal Adwan Hospital: 👇 “Peace be upon you. An urgent appeal from Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. We're calling out to the world, to all people of conscience, to the WHO, UN, and Security Council. To everyone with a shred of humanity: North Gaza is under attack. Dozens are dying, hundreds injured. Our hospital is overwhelmed, drowning in blood. The operating room is full. We're critically short-staffed. We lack resources and fuel. The situation is dire. Injuries flood the streets of Jabalia, Shujaiya, and Fallujah. Hundreds need help. Medical teams can't reach victims in the streets. The occupation forces are committing atrocities. Injuries arrive by ambulance, motorcycle, even carried by hand. People come in wounded. The hospital's situation is critical. We urgently appeal to all compassionate souls, to every free person: Save North Gaza! It's facing genocide. The bloodshed won't stop. Save North Gaza, please! Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.”

Ynet reports that the Israeli military is effectively imposing a blockade of Lebanon, striking its land crossings with Syria and machinery used to repair them, as well as controlling which flights land at Beirut's airport ynet.co.il/news/article/sysw…
