Eid Sabbah, the director of nursing at Kamal Adwan Hospital, described a night “full of horror” at the facility in northern Gaza, as Israeli bulldozers advanced and quadcopter drones fired at the medical compound and surrounding buildings, reports Al Jazeera.
“They targeted the Battah family home in the vicinity of the hospital. Fifteen bodies arrived at the hospital including six people from the Battah family,” Sabbah told the media.
“Many have been wounded and many are still under the rubble.”
Sabbah said the Israeli attack on the hospital’s ICU filled the rooms with black dust, as staff evacuated four patients on ventilators. Centralised oxygen remained unavailable and the few cylinders left were about to run out.
He added that 74 injured patients were present at the hospital and were being treated “in a very primitive way” due to the lack of resources.
