THE World Health Organisation (WHO) today condemned Israel’s attack on a northern Gaza hospital that killed at least 29 people, as a “worrying” trend observed in global wars.
Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the last functioning centres in the area, was hit by a series of Israeli air strikes early this morning, accompanied by “intense and direct fire,” the facility’s director said in a statement.
Four hospital staff were among “a large number” of wounded, Hossam Abu Safieh said.
