WHO delivers supplies to Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital
The World Health Organization dropped off food, fuel and medical supplies to the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza on Sunday.
A WHO member who took part in the mission told Al Jazeera that the agency had delivered 400 food parcels for the patients and staff at the facility, as well as fuel to operate generators, and medical consumables and supplies, including blood units.
The staffer also said a team from Mercy International will be deployed to the hospital. “The team will be deployed here for one month – specialised medical staff,” he said.
Kamal Adwan is one of the last remaining partially functioning hospitals in the north of the Strip. Staff at the facility have continued to serve patients despite shortages of food, fuel and medical supplies, as well as repeated attacks from Israeli troops.
Attacks last week killed its ICU director and wounded dozens of medical staff.
