The assault on Kamal Adwan comes a day after 50 Palestinians were killed in an air strike on a building in the hospital‘s grounds. At least five medical staff were killed in Thursday‘s attack, along with their wives, parents and children.

Kamal Adwan has been under a suffocating Israeli siege for more than two months, receiving little to no aid, medicine, food or fuel since Israel intensified it blockade on northern parts of the enclave.
