Israeli forces target Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza, urging international intervention to protect patients and staff.
An official from one of only two functioning hospitals in northern Gaza told AFP on Monday that Israeli forces were continuing to target his facility and urged the international community to intervene before "it is too late."
Hossam Abu Safiyeh, director of Kamal Adwan hospital in the city of Beit Lahia, described the situation at the medical facility as "extremely dangerous and terrifying" owing to shelling by Israeli forces.
An Israeli military spokesman denied that the hospital was being targeted.
"I am unaware of any strikes on Kamal Adwan hospital," he told AFP.
Safiyeh reported that the hospital, which is currently treating 91 patients, had been targeted on Monday by Israeli drones.
"This morning, drones dropped bombs in the hospital's courtyards and on its roof," said Safiyeh in a statement.
"The shelling, which also destroyed nearby houses and buildings, did not stop throughout the night."
