Gaza - Saba:
Director of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza Fadl Naim confirmed Monday that the hospital was discharged after being bombed by the Zionist enemy planes, and hundreds of patients are looking for hospitals for treatment.
Naim told Palestine today that the enemy destroyed the emergency department, radiology, laboratory and hospital pharmacy, as the hospital was providing treatment for 100 patients and wounded.
Naim said: We are trying to find alternatives and create emergency departments and small hospitals to provide medical service, as the hospital currently serves about 30 patients and wounded, and new cases cannot be received.
Naim stressed that the enemy does not need any justification for targeting hospitals and health facilities.
The enemy forces had targeted the Baptist Hospital in Gaza during the early hours of the dawn of today, by bombing two missiles inside the hospital's campus and completely destroying, which led to a forced evacuation of patients and workers inside the hospital.
The hospital provides health services to more than a million Palestinians in the governorates and north of Gaza, in light of the almost complete collapse of the health system due to the continuous Zionist genocide since the seventh of October 2023, and deliberately targeting hospitals and health centers.
The enemy intentionally destroyed 34 hospitals, and removed it from service as part of a systematic plan to eliminate the remainder of the health sector in the Gaza Strip, as well as targeting dozens of medical centers and health institutions in a clear violation of all international covenants and Geneva Conventions that prohibit the targeting of medical facilities.
Al -Madani Hospital witnessed one of the most heinous massacres of the Zionist army during the genocide war that it waged on the Strip, after it was bombed on October 17, 2023, during the presence of hundreds of displaced people, patients and wounded inside, which resulted in the death of 471 Palestinians and the injury of hundreds.
The Baptist Hospital in Gaza is located on the northern outskirts of Al -Zaytoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City, and is managed by the Anglican Episcopal Church in Jerusalem, and is considered one of the oldest hospitals in the city, where it was established in 1882.
Al -Madani turned into the most important hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, after the great destruction of the Zionist army at al -Shifa Medical Complex and the Indonesian Hospital and Kamal Adwan, during the war of constant genocide for more than 18 months.
