Concurrently, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported that the Israeli artillery bombed the upper floors of the hospital, which houses over 40 patients, along with medical staff. The Ministry confirmed a complete power outage at the facility.
It also mentioned that a group of forcibly displaced people was targeted in front of the hospital#39;s entrance, with heavy gunfire directed at the building and its grounds, causing widespread fear among patients and medical personnel.

Extermination, genocide in Jabalia as #39;Israel#39; retains West#39;s backing
The Israeli occupation forces continued its campaign of extermination and genocide in the Jabalia Camp, located in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in a massacre that saw the killing of 33 people, including 21 women. According to the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip, the death toll is expected to rise as manynbsp;Palestinians remain trapped undernbsp;the rubble of residential buildings that were bombed by the occupation forces.
The massacre has also left over 85 people injured, with several in critical condition amid an ongoing siege of the sector, systematic destruction of hospitals, and the murder of doctors and nurses since the start of the genocide on October 7.
The Government Media Office stated on Friday, in a press release, that it condemned the Israeli occupation#39;s brutal actions.
quot;The Israeli occupation army continues its clear campaign of extermination and genocide in Jabalia Camp,quot; the statement read, underscoring that the attack targeted several homes belonging to the Hawajri, Nassar, and Abu Al-Eish families.
Pointing fingers at several EU countries, the US, and quot;Israelquot;, the statement added that this horrific act was carried out quot;with full backing from the US administration and certain European countries like the United Kingdom,nbsp;Germany, and France, who are involved in this genocide and ethnic cleansing.quot;
The attack comes amid the ongoing collapse of the healthcare system in northern Gaza, an area that is home to around 400,000 residents. The occupation forces have issued threats against hospitals in the area, demanding their evacuation in a bid to maximize the death toll, the Media Office reported, highlighting the systematic and deliberate destruction of the healthcare system.
Furthermore, the statement stressed that the Israeli occupation is preventing fuel from reaching hospitals and has severed communications and internet access in the region, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
The statement from the Government Media Office also condemned the international community#39;s inaction, criticizing the quot;moral collapse of the worldquot; for watching silently as genocide is committed against the Palestinian people. — Al Mayadeen English
