Occupied al-Quds / SANA- The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that resorting the Israeli occupation to force the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, to make statements under torture and intimidation and publish them in audio and video is a war crime.
Storming the hospital in the northern Gaza Strip and the arrest of its director, Dr. Ahmed Al-Kahlot, and intimidating him to make statements that serve the occupation, are only one chapter of Israel’s ongoing crimes against the health sector, The Ministry said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry called on all international human rights institutions to denounce the occupation’s criminal behavior against the Palestinian people in general, and especially against medical teams, with the aim of taking out statements that contradict the truth and serve the occupation.
The Ministry indicated that this attempt by the occupation falls within the framework of its desperate attempts to justify its successive crimes, especially against the health system, after its failure to fabricate any presence of the Resistance under the buildings of the Shifa Medical Complex.
The Palestinian Health Ministry called on human rights institutions to open an urgent investigation into the massacre committed by the occupation at Kamal Adwan Hospital, where children were besieged without water, food, and electricity for many days, which ended with the bombing of the hospital, the death of two women and two sick children, and the injury of dozens. This was followed by storming the hospital and arresting dozens of displaced people and patients in addition to health personnel, not to mention the demolition of the hospital, and the crushing of the bodies of the martyrs under the tanks.
