What @DrTedros isn’t telling you, is that Hamas had embedded itself inside Kamal Aswan hospital.
Before the IDF entered the compound, a dialogue was carried out in coordination with the medical teams. IDF forces allowed a humanitarian window and most of the hospital was evacuated.
Israel arrested 90 terrorists in the area some who had carried out the October 7th terrorist attack. Israel also destroyed terrorist infrastructure and located many weapons and intelligence documents including hidden in the baby ward inside incubators.
❌ no mention by @WHO of Hamas entrenchment in hospitals.
❌ no condemnation of Hamas for storing weapons in hospitals.
❌ once again, the international community turns a blind eye to Hamas use of human shields.
Facts matter. Using hospitals, health personnel and patients to store weapons and hide terrorists must end.
.@WHO is appalled by the effective destruction of Kamal Adwan hospital in northern #Gaza over the last several days, rendering it non-functional and resulting in the death of at least 8 patients.
Many health workers were reportedly detained, and WHO and partners are urgently seeking information on their status.
We learned that many patients had to self-evacuate at great risk to their health and safety, with ambulances unable to reach the facility. Of the deceased patients, several died due to lack of adequate health care, including a 9-year-old child.
We are extremely concerned for the well-being of the internally displaced people who are reportedly sheltering in the hospital building.
Gaza’s health system was already on its knees, and the loss of another even minimally functioning hospital is a severe blow.
Attacks on hospitals, health personnel and patients must end. Ceasefire NOW.
