Al-Awda hospital remains under siege

Dr Muhammad Salha, the director of Al Awda Hospital in northern Gaza has said that the medical facility continues to be under siege by Israeli forces.

14 health workers remain trapped at the complex with immobile patients by a 10-day Israeli siege.

Salha said they would not leave the hospital without ambulances to transport the patients.

In a message shared with Medical Aid for Palestinians, Salha said the hospital was suffering from a "shortage of everything," with dwindling supplies of food, fuel and medicene and no access to clean water.

He reported "repeated gunfire and explosions in the vicinity of the hospital."

"We are still 14 health workers, who have remained with the wounded and sick, and will not leave the hospital and not leave the wounded and sick in the hospital without care," he said.
