The World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said a team from WHO and its partners reached Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza two days ago, “amid hostilities and explosions in the vicinity of the hospital during the mission”, reports Al Jazeera.
He said that 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!”
