“Abu Mohammed, good evening. I mean, just half an hour ago, we were hit with over 100 typhoon projectiles at Kamal Adwan Hospital along with Quadcopter bombs.

It was a really terrifying scene on the west side. Every window department, the surgery departments, rooftops, courtyards, windows in the ICU, the the neonatal unit – everywhere got hit.

We have three casualties in the hospital. Of course, this aggression, I mean, we don't know the reason for it or why it’s happening.

We need to urgently appeal to stop this destructive attack on the Kamal Adwan Hospital, or we also need to coordinate repair operations immediately.

They've even destroyed the water tanks above, the oxygen extensions, and the water pumps. The fuel tanks were also hit, and a fire erupted in one of the tanks.

We had to send our men under heavy fire, and they managed to put out the fire by throwing sand to cover it.

Now, I mean, we need at least ten hours or a whole day for urgent repairs. We need to coordinate repair efforts around the scene.

Muhammad, this message needs to get to all the concerned people.”
