The Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah has appealed to the international community to intervene and protect hospitals in Palestinian territory, especially in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement on Facebook, the ministry repeated its calls for patients, medical staff and treatment centres to be protected from Israeli attacks.

It said that Israel’s “genocidal war” continues, following the raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, north Gaza.
