The Gaza Health Ministry says Israeli soldiers are taking hundreds of staff, patients and displaced people into custody during a raid on the last functioning hospital in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

The Israeli military said its forces were operating around Kamal Adwan Hospital in Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza, where it launched a major incursion earlier this month.

At Kamal Adwan Hospital, Israeli troops are “detaining hundreds of patients, medical staff and some displaced individuals from neighbouring areas who sought refuge”, the ministry said.
