The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last major health facility in northern Gaza, is now out of service following an Israeli military operation targeting Hamas militants. Reports indicate that the hospital was stormed and burned by Israeli forces, leading to the evacuation of patients and the detention of many staff members. The WHO condemned these actions, stating that the systematic dismantling of Gaza’s health system represents a 'death sentence for tens of thousands of Palestinians.' The situation has raised significant concerns regarding the humanitarian crisis in the region, as this incident follows over 400 days of ongoing conflict in Gaza.
