Gaza’s Ministry of Health says Israel has “arrested and deported all the medical staff” at Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Strip, except one paediatrician, Al Jazeera reports.

“Accordingly, the Ministry appeals to international institutions to quickly send surgical medical teams to the hospital,” it was said in the statement.

The ministry has also called on anyone with surgical skills to assist at Kamal Adwan Hospital, to “save as many wounded and sick as possible”.
