There was no immediate Israeli comment and no official confirmation from the health ministry on the death toll. Medics said at least two children had died inside the intensive care unit after Israeli fire hit the generators and oxygen station in the facility on Friday. "The safety and lives of patients who are left inside Kamal Adwan Hospital without medical staff and much-needed medication are at risk now," said Marwan Al-Hams of the health ministry.
"Hospitals are being told to evacuate, leaving a potential vacuum of medical services for the many civilians who remain."Senior Hamas official Basem Naim said Israel's incursions in northern Gaza and storming Kamal Adwan Hospital were a violation of international humanitarian law that it could not have committed without "the protection of Western countries".
