The closure of Al-Awda Hospital, the last operating medical facility in northern Gaza, has left dozens of patients and staff stranded as Israel intensifies its military actions in the region. Health officials report that over 70 Palestinians have died due to ongoing bombardments since early Thursday. The World Health Organization is seeking to relocate the remaining patients but faces challenges due to damaged roads. Reports indicate a significant humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by the loss of this critical healthcare lifeline amidst widespread violence against medical staff and facilities.
"With Al-Awda's closure, there is no remaining functional hospital in North Gaza, severing a critical lifeline for the people there."
"The Gaza Health Ministry called Israel's push, which forced the hospital out of commission, a continuation of the violations and crimes against the medical sector in the territory."
