Archivist Notes On This Video

According to Dr. Ezzideen :"What is happening at Kamal Adwan Hospital?

Reports from inside the hospital reveal escalating danger and critical conditions for both patients and medical staff.

According to a nurse currently stationed at Kamal Adwan Hospital, the facility has come under severe and repeated attacks since yesterday, jeopardizing critical medical operations and endangering lives.

On Sunday, a delegation from the World Health Organization (WHO) visited the hospital and facilitated the evacuation of some patients. However, shortly after the delegation departed - barely moving dozens of meters from the building - artillery fire directly struck the neonatal unit and doctors’ quarters. The bombardment left a young child with life-threatening injuries.

The situation worsened Today at 3 p.m. when quadcopter drones dropped sound bombs onto the hospital roof, destroying the solar panels that supply electricity to several critical departments. The sudden power outage disrupted operations throughout much of the facility. Soon after, shelling intensified around the hospital, with several projectiles striking the building, causing minor injuries to members of the nursing staff.

In a desperate appeal, the hospital director contacted the Ministry of Health and the @WHO, issuing a final call for emergency assistance. He warned that the medical teams are now unable to safely move between departments, leaving both staff and patients in peril."
