Gaza City, November 23 (RHC)-- Despite the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court, the Israeli military has intensified its attacks across the Gaza Strip.
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud denounced the attacks, which destroyed residential buildings and caused further civilian casualties, among them women and children.
She reportedthat it is the usual pattern of attacks across the Gaza Strip. "But what’s really concerning right now is the systematic and deliberate attacks on the remaining health facilities."
The Al Jazeera reporter noted that includes the Kamal Adwan Hospital – the only operational health facility in the northern part of the Strip.
"There are ongoing and repeated attacks by quadcopters that are filling the skies around Kamal Adwan Hospital and the surrounding area and are preventing paramedics and medical staff from doing their jobs safely inside the hospital."
According to reports, the facility itself came under heavy direct shooting by tanks and quadcopters in the area. Also, there were many attacks on a group of people either at the entrance to the hospital or inside the facility itself.
It’s become very difficult for paramedics to leave the hospital to go to bomb sites and bring casualties back to the hospital. Hani Mahmoud affirmed that paramedics are at risk of being killed if they try to aid the wounded.
"Also, civilians who are volunteering and bringing casualties back to the hospital are at risk of losing their lives," according to the journalist.
