The World Health Organization (WHO) says an international medical team urgently needed at Kamal Adwan Hospital has not been allowed to deploy as Israel continues its siege in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Hanan Balkhy, WHO regional director for the Eastern Mediterranean, also condemned the repeated attacks on the medical facility. “The fear endured by the hospital’s staff and patients in recent days is indescribable — and unacceptable,” she wrote on X.

The representative for the UN health agency said the hospital was without surgical or maternal care capacity.

WHO was instead able to deliver supplies to al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Balkhy said.
