Israeli artillery shelling targets area around al-Awda Hospital

Israeli artillery shelling is targeting the area surrounding Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, according to Al Jazeera Arabic.

This week the World Health Organization warned that al-Awda, the last remaining operational hospital in the region, is on the brink of collapse.

With an overwhelming influx of patients, the hospital is critically low on both fuel and essential supplies, pushing it to breaking point.

Despite efforts to reach the facility and provide much-needed resupplies, the UN health agency has been unable to navigate the destroyed roads and bureaucratic blockages that make safe access impossible.
