The Gaza City Municipality has warned of an imminent environmental disaster in the city as a result of water scarcity, sewage leakage and waste accumulation due to the ongoing Israeli aggression.

According to the municipality, the Israeli aggression has destroyed more than 85 per cent of heavy engineering equipment and 50 per cent of sewage and waste treatment mechanisms.
The Israeli occupation army continued its tight siege of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, for the third consecutive day, with 91 patients inside, amidst appeals for the necessity of intervention to save the patients and medical staff, and provide them with medical supplies and food.
According to medical sources, the occupation drones dropped bombs on the hospital grounds and on its roof this morning, which once again threatens the supplies of fuel and oxygen.
Meanwhile, around 91 patients are still in the hospital, including the elderly, children and women, and the services provided to them are minimal, due to the ongoing and tight siege that it has been subjected to for nearly two months, during which the entry of medicine or food, or medical staff, ambulances, and any other services has been prevented.
The occupation tanks and bulldozers suddenly approached the western gate of the hospital yesterday, amidst a heavy hail of bullets, penetrating the intensive care unit, the maternity ward, and the specialized surgery department, and some bullets exploded inside the departments, creating a state of fear and panic among patients.
The occupation targeted one of the generators, which led to it being completely out of service due to the fire, and there were also attempts to target the fuel tank, amidst continuous shelling of surrounding homes and buildings.
It is noteworthy that the occupation army launched violent raids on the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital, since yesterday evening, Saturday, after demanding its evacuation without providing the means to evacuate the patients.
On a daily basis, the occupation targets the Martyr Kamal Adwan Hospital, which resulted in the killing and injury of a number of medical personnel and citizens in its vicinity, and caused damage to the electricity generators and the hospital departments.
On October 5, the occupation forces invaded the northern Gaza Strip again, amidst bloody shelling, a tight siege, and preventing the entry of food, water, and medicines.
The occupation continues to commit crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the town of Beit Lahia, and Kamal Adwan Hospital is a last resort for patients and the injured in the north, who have not found an alternative that provides them with the minimum medical and humanitarian services.
Despite this, the medical staff inside the hospital, consisting of two doctors at most, and a small number of nurses, continue to perform their humanitarian duty, and they have refused to obey the army's multiple orders to evacuate its buildings and leave the governorate despite the ongoing crimes against them.
It is worth noting that "Kamal Adwan" was the largest hospital in the northern governorate, providing its services to more than 400,000 people, while it operates today under conditions and lack of capabilities due to the occupation's direct targeting of it since October 2023, as it continues to launch intensive raids on its surroundings, in addition to blowing up buildings and residential blocks next to it, which resulted in damage to its buildings.
