Israeli forces evacuated Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of northern Gaza’s last operational health facilities, citing a Hamas "terrorist stronghold" in the area. Medics reported the evacuation endangered ICU patients reliant on ventilators. Airstrikes in the vicinity reportedly killed 50 people, including 5 medical staff. Gaza's deputy health minister criticized the relocation of critical patients to the non-functional Indonesian hospital. The World Health Organization condemned the attack, stating vital departments were destroyed. Israeli officials denied responsibility for the fatalities and a fire at the hospital. Kamal Adwan has faced intensified blockades since October, with aid agencies struggling to deliver supplies.
