Dr. Sobhi Skeik, director of the Turkish Palestinian Hospital that is situated just south of Gaza City, says his hospital was damaged by an Israeli strike earlier this evening.
The blast partially destroyed two rooms on the third floor of the small hospital, damaging the building’s oxygen system and water supply, he claims.
“Just out of luck no one was in the rooms at the time,” Skiek says, saying that there was no evacuation order from the Israeli army before the strike.
Over the past few days, Skeik says dozens of missile strikes have hit the area surrounding the hospital, which specializes in cancer treatment. He says the hospital is currently housing 100 to 150 patients, 200 staff members, and 100 displaced people.
