Eid Sabbah, the director of nursing at Kamal Adwan Hospital, said that Israel’s attack on Tuesday on the facility wounded newborn babies and forced the evacuation of its nursery, reports Al Jazeera.

“The children’s ward with the incubators was hit by Israeli warplanes and quad-copter drones. The upper floors were damaged and some of the children and newborn babies were injured,” he told the media by telephone.

“Journalists, nurses and other medical staff were also injured,” he added.

“The nurses took the children to the lower floors but those floors don’t have the equipment needed to cater to the newborns who need incubators and intensive care,” he said, adding, “Those children and newborns came under direct fire. One child was forced to have emergency surgery. The staffs were shocked by this new attack because we had already come under fire just the day before.”

As we’ve been reporting, Kamal Adwan is the last partially functioning hospital in besieged northern Gaza. The latest attacks come a week after Israeli forces raided the facility and detained dozens of people, including nearly its entire medical staff.

The hospital – which continues to receive people wounded in Israel’s intensified attacks on northern Gaza – has called for urgent international intervention and the establishment of a humanitarian passage for the delivery of medical supplies.
