The latest from besieged Jenin hospital

The Jenin Governmental Hospital, also known as the Khalil Suleiman Hospital, remains under Israeli siege almost 12 hours after the West Bank city was raided, the hospital's director told Middle East Eye. 

Dr Wissam Abu Bakr said Israeli military vehicles surround the hospital, preventing people from entering and leaving freely. 

“Ambulances that transported several casualties from the city were subjected to careful inspection as they attempted to enter the hospital, while soldiers searched the identity cards of some of those trapped in the hospital before allowing them to leave it after several hours,” Abu Bakr said.

Sniper units are also deployed in buildings adjacent to and overlooking the hospital, he added, restricting the movement of residents.
