""Our calls are falling on deaf ears" says Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, as he describes the oppression and isolation facing the medical teams in northern Gaza. Despite repeated appeals to the international community for medical supplies, ambulances, and a humanitarian corridor, no aid has arrived, leaving injured civilians stranded in the streets and their destroyed homes. Just yesterday, he reports, aid distributed in Beit Hanoun was followed by bombings, targeting the very people who received it. Dr. Abu Safiya also mourned the loss of his colleagues, Dr. Mohammed Shabat and his wife Dr. Dima, who were killed along with their entire family in the very early hours of this morning, as well as the recent death of Dr. Saeed Joudah’s nephew, who had been serving tirelessly in emergency care. Meanwhile, quadcopter drones continuously drop bombs on the hospital grounds daily, adding to the relentless assault on the healthcare system. "لا حياة لمن تنادي"، يقول الدكتور حسام أبو صفية، مدير مستشفى كمال عدوان، واصفاً اليأس والعزلة التي تواجه الفرق الطبية في شمال غزة. ورغم النداءات المتكررة للمجتمع الدولي من أجل توفير الإمدادات الطبية وسيارات الإسعاف وفتح ممر إنساني، لم تصل أي مساعدات، تاركة الجرحى في الشوارع ومنازلهم المدمرة. وأفاد الدكتور أبو صفية أنه بالأمس فقط، بعد توزيع مساعدات في بيت حانون، تم قصف المستفيدين من هذه المساعدات. وأعرب عن حزنه لفقدان زملائه، الدكتور محمد وزوجته الدكتورة ديمة، اللذين استشهدا مع عائلتهما بالكامل في الساعات الأولى من هذا الصباح، وأيضاً ابن شقيق الدكتور سعيد جودة، الذي كان يعمل بلا كلل في قسم الطوارئ. وفي الوقت نفسه، تستمر الطائرات المسيرة يومياً بإسقاط القنابل على ساحات المستشفى، مما يضيف إلى الهجوم المستمر على النظام الصحي.

Archivist Notes: Day 403: North Gaza Invasion

Day 39 of Israel's third ground invasion of the North Gaza governorate.

Less than 24 hours after allowing no more than 3 aid trucks of flour and water to enter the city, the IDF besieged Beit Hanoun and the shelters therein early morning and ordered people to leave on foot southwards. (sources: 1). The siege was preceded by massacres of two families, including that of journalist Hossam Shabat.

Hossam, a native of Beit Hanoun stated that Beit Hanoun "was the first city targeted by Israeli occupation forces to be wiped out. It had a population of 70,000; now only 3,000 are left. Israeli forces have been trying to ethnically cleanse it for over a year now. They just invaded it again, surrounded the remaining schools, and are forcing the residents to leave under the threat of snipers and bombs."
