Bombing continues at Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza
Conditions are worsening for patients at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in north Gaza as Israeli bombing continued to target the hospital's surroundings through the night, the hospital director said Thursday.
"We had to let sick and wounded die due to the cessation of surgical operations," the hospital director told ABC News.
Three members of the hospital's staff sustained burns due to bombing that targeted the third floor of the hospital, the director said.
"The bombing of the hospital caused fires in departments containing wounded people and medical supplies. We demanded that ambulances be brought to the hospital to transport the wounded, to no avail. The situation is catastrophic in the hospital, we live in a disaster area, and we provide minimal treatment," the hospital director said.
