A hospital in northern Gaza treats dozens of patients each day, as Israeli bombs fall


Around 40 patients a day are coming in to Awda Hospital in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza, said Dr Ahmed Mhanna, the hospital’s manager.

Awda Hospital is still operating but the facility's main generator is no longer functioning, he said, and the hospital is also delivering around 20 babies each day, he said.

“The situation is critical,” he said in a recorded message. Jabaliya has been heavily bombed since Oct. 7.

Mhanna said that Israel strikes were still pounding the areas immediately around the hospital, with shrapnel striking the building. Eight staff members have been injured from the bombing, he added. (AP)
