Kamal Adwan Hospital Siege

I met Dr. Hossam only once.

This was on a coordinated UN convoy from the south of Gaza to the north to retrieve sick children that were in Dr. Hossam's care at Kamal Adwan Hospital.

We had been held for... quite some time by the Israeli military at the Netzerim corridor that they at that time were militarily occupying.

We were able to eventually move and we moved through Gaza City, North Gaza.

them in.

Kamal Adwan Hospital is short on medical staff, with only one paediatrician and one resident orthopaedic volunteer doctor.

Four planned WHO missions to the hospital were denied by the Israeli authorities between 8 and 16 November, while two other missions which were granted access were not allowed to bring fuel, supplies or water.

To Hong Kong, where the UN Human Rights Office has expressed deep concern at the harsh sentences handed down to dozens of pro-democracy protesters involved in the 2020 movement.

Next.

This is near and dear to our heart because of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was the head of pediatrics at Kamal Adwan Hospital.

They've now been forced to suspend operations as Israeli forces advance in northern Gaza.

Again, this is from Middle East Monitor.

This is why hospitals are under such scrutiny from the IDF in this war.

A case in point is the Kamal Adwan Hospital, which is located right in Mahmoud's neighborhood, a maybe seven or eight-minute walk away from the house where he was last living.

Kamal Adwan Hospital, located in Northern Gaza, has for a long period of time been a part of Hamas's strategy and used as a major terrorist stronghold.

The war had only just begun when, in statements like this, the Israeli army declared Kamal Adwan Hospital a Hamas terrorist stronghold.

What followed was a months-long confrontation around this hospital, which grew ever more violent.

The World Health Organization is supporting this hospital to resume services after the attack that it has sustained back in the twenty-second of May.

And Mahmoud says, "Sure, of course.

We'll help." It's a decision that will prove consequential.

These sites need careful examination and thorough criminal investigation before any intervention that might change or erase their features." We'll have more on Israel's systematic erasure of war crimes evidence, which is itself a war crime, later on in the coming weeks.

It has been six hundred days since Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a pediatrician and the director of the Kamal, Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, was abducted by Israeli forces in December twenty twenty-four.

He has remained in Israeli administrative detention ever since, without charge or trial, and recently in solitary confinement.

He has endured physical and psychological torture and abuse ever since his abduction and detention.
