The Palestinian Information Center has published images of Dr Hussam Abu Safia lying on a hospital stretcher as others wrapped a bandage around his thigh, Al Jazeera reports.

The outlet said the doctor was wounded from shrapnel from a bomb dropped by an Israeli quadcopter while he was checking up on patients inside the hospital.

“My injury is an honour,” he was quoted as saying.

Earlier, Al Jazeera reported that successive Israeli attacks on the northern facility — one of two partially functioning hospitals in besieged northern Gaza — killed at least two people and wounded 12 medical staff on Saturday. The assaults also disrupted the electrical generator, oxygen supply network and water supply.
