Kuwait Hospital in Rafah shuts down

The Kuwait Hospital in Rafah has been shut down and deemed non-operational, the director said, after Israeli strikes on Monday killed two of its staff members.

“Due to the enemy’s expansion of the military operation in Rafah Governorate and the repeated and deliberate attacks on the hospital’s surroundings, the most recent of which was targeting the hospital gate, which led to the death of two staff working in the hospital, as well as the injury of 5 medical staff in a previous targeting, we announce that the Kuwait Specialized Hospital will be out of service,” Suhaib al-Hams said in a statement.
