Israeli occupation forces started a siege this morning of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza, demanding that medical staff, patients, and all those inside vacate the premises to make room for the forces to storm the hospital, Wafa reports.

Yesterday five hospital staff members were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting the hospital. The victims included pediatrician Dr. Ahmad Samour, laboratory specialist Israa Abu Zayda, paramedics Abdul Majid Abu Al-Eish and Maher Al-Ajrami, and maintenance specialist Fares Al-Houdali.

The Israeli forces have maintained a strict siege around the hospital, where 91 patients remain inside. There are urgent calls for intervention to assist both the patients and medical staff by providing essential medical supplies, food, and other vital resources.
