The director of the besieged and under-fire Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza has told of starvation-like conditions in the area and people trapped alive beneath a bombed building with no hope of rescue, reports. Dr Hussam Abu Safia said his medical facility is no longer able to “provide even a single meal to the patients, which prolongs wound healing, nor can we offer a meal to the healthcare workers who work around the clock”. The hospital is seeing cases of children and adults who are malnourished and dehydrated, he said, adding his facility is running extremely low on medical supplies. The director said his hospital has received phone calls from civilians trapped alive under buildings destroyed by Israeli strikes, but there was no way to rescue them. “Sadly, the next day, their voices were gone, and they were counted among the dead, with their homes becoming their graves,” he said. “This scene is repeated daily.”
