Vital oxygen station shuts down at northern Gaza hospital amid Israeli onslaught

A vital oxygen station at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza ceased operation today amid a deadly Israeli onslaught in the area, a medical source said.

“The oxygen station has completely stopped due to damage in the supply lines,” the source told Anadolu.

The source said repairing the plant appears “impossible” because of “the intense Israeli fire around the hospital, including drone strikes from quadcopter aircraft.”

He warned of a “serious threat” to the lives of patients at the hospital if the station is not repaired.

The Israeli occupation army has intensified its attacks across northern Gaza since yesterday, particularly in Beit Lahia.

According to witnesses, Israeli drones struck civilian homes and hospitals, many of which are out of service and operating below minimal capacity.

Hussam Abu Safiya, the hospital’s director, said that the Israeli army shelled the facility five times yesterday, injuring three on duty medical staff.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has severely strained healthcare services, leaving many patients unable to access the urgent medical care they need.
