Hospital · Speciality Hospital — Jabalia, North Gaza
On 29 May, Al Awda Hospital, the last minimally functional hospital in North Gaza, was forcibly evacuated and rendered out of service. According to the hospital’s Director, Mohammad Salha, Israeli forces “informed us that either we evacuate the hospital immediately or they will forcibly evacuate it.” Dr. Salha stated that 82 medical staff and 13 patients were forced to evacuate under extremely difficult conditions. With all roads leading to the hospital blocked or destroyed, ambulances could not reach the hospital and patients had to be carried for over 200 metres before reaching MoH ambulances that transferred them to Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza city, he added. Between 15 and 23 May, the hospital was repeatedly hit and faced critical shortages of medicines. On 24 and 27 May, the World Health Organization managed to reach the facility and transferred critical patients to Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza city.
Israeli tanks that had surrounded al-'Awda Hospital directly targeted the hospital's Specialized Surgery Department and medicine warehouse. The attack ignited a fire in the warehouse, which medical crews were unable to extinguish due to the IOF's ongoing gunfire. It also destroyed the hospital's water and fuel tanks and caused extensive damage to its infrastructure. The Israeli tanks then stormed the hospital courtyards, set fire to the outpatient clinic tents, and injured several medical personnel and volunteers.
On 22 May, the hospital’s third and fourth floors were reportedly hit, injuring two health workers. Patient tents, including one provided by WHO, caught fire, which also burned all medical supplies in the warehouse and destroyed vehicles in the basement. Al Awda faces an imminent risk of closure due to ongoing insecurity and restricted access, according to WHO.
