The fire at northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital is spreading to the rest of the medical complex, Al Jazeera reports according to a statement by the enclave’s health ministry.

In a statement on Telegram, the ministry said that the hospital is “suffering from a stifling siege, as the operating and surgery departments, laboratory, maintenance, ambulance units and warehouses have been completely burned.”

“The fire has now begun to spread to all buildings,” the statement added.

It also said: “The occupation army is forcibly transferring patients and the injured under the threat of weapons and gun barrels to the Indonesian Hospital, which lacks medical supplies, water, medicines, and even electricity and generators.”

The ministry said the Israeli army “has dealt a fatal blow to the remaining health system in northern Gaza” with its attack on the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
