Al-Awda Hospital: Our crews are fighting to extinguish the fire at the hospital after the occupation forces bombed it.

The Al-Awda Health and Community Association said that crews at Al-Awda Hospital in Tel al-Zaatar, north of the Gaza Strip, are working hard to extinguish the fires that broke out in the hospital's facilities after it was targeted by the Israeli occupation.

She noted that hospital crews are trying to extinguish the fires in the hospital's warehouses and storage areas and prevent them from spreading to other facilities and threatening the lives of patients and staff.

She noted that the fires were still spreading within the hospital's facilities, and that crews were unable to deal with the blazes due to a lack of necessary resources, with Israeli tanks once again besieging the hospital.

The association confirmed that it is communicating with all parties, including the World Health Organization, the health sector, the International Red Cross, the Humanitarian Fund for the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the Palestinian NGO Network, and all relevant parties.

She called for pressure on the occupation forces to enable hospital crews to continue their efforts to extinguish the fires and not put their lives in danger. She also called for allowing civil defense crews access and facilitating their movement to the hospital to try to extinguish the fires, and to prevent the spread of the fire.

It also called on the International Red Cross to immediately head to Al-Awda Hospital in Tel al-Zaatar to provide protection for patients and staff there, and to enable crews to continue their efforts to extinguish the fire.
