Video shows 'catastrophic conditions' at Gaza hospital after deadly Israel strike

A video has shown catastrophic conditions in the Intensive Care Unit at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza amid a devastating Israeli onslaught in the area, Anadolu Agency reports.

The footage showed the bodies of dead and injured children following Saturday’s deadly Israeli air strike in the northern city of Beit Lahia that killed at least 87 people and injured dozens.

“This child had shrapnel in the chest that penetrated his lungs and remained in the abdomen,” the hospital’s Director, Hossam Abu Safia, commented in the video.

The clip showed the dead body of another child, who suffered skull fractures from the Israeli attack.

“Unfortunately, we couldn’t revive him; he passed away just now, along with the rest of his family,” Abu Safia said.

The video also showed two brothers in extremely difficult conditions, shivering in the ICU.

“The situation is catastrophic in every sense of the word; This is the reality in the Intensive Care Unit at midnight,” the hospital’s Director said.

Saturday’s Israeli strike destroyed an entire residential block in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, according to witnesses.

The Israeli army has continued a massive offensive, now in its 17th day, in northern Gaza amid a suffocating siege on the area.

The onslaught was the latest episode in Israel’s brutal onslaught that has killed more than 42,600 people, mostly women and children, and injured 99,800 others since last year following a Hamas attack.

The Israeli war has displaced almost the entire population of Gaza amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
