MSF reports siege and damage at Al-Awda Hospital in Gaza
Over the past ten weeks, Al-Awda Hospital has been "besieged" and damaged in strikes, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) wrote on X.
On Tuesday, the humanitarian organisation wrote: "On 17 December, Israeli forces took control of Al-Awda Hospital, after besieging it for 12 days. Males over 16 years old were taken out of the hospital, stripped, bound and interrogated - six MSF staff were among them."
It added that after the interrogations, most of them were sent back to the hospital and told not to move.
"Al-Awda hospital still has dozens of patients inside, 14 of whom are children. The hospital is now out of essentials like general anaesthetic and oxygen," the statement on X said.
"Over the past 10 weeks, Al Awda has been besieged, damaged in strikes, and medical staff have been killed in blasts. It is the last functioning hospital in the north of Gaza that we know of."
