After besieging and shelling it for several days, Israeli forces have raided Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, a health ministry spokesman said, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on Telegram, Ashraf al-Qudra added that Israeli forces were gathering males —including the medical staff— in the hospital courtyard, who he feared may then be arrested.

“We call on the United Nations, the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross to act immediately to save the lives of those in the hospital,” he added.
