<p>The human rights organization Euro-Med Monitor has urged
to probe Israeli war crimes after reports of Palestinian civilians
buried alive at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.</p>
<p>In a report published on Saturday, the Geneva-based group said that
“an independent international investigation must be opened into these
reports.”</p>
<p>According to Euro-Med Monitor, “Israeli army bulldozers drove into
the hospital (on Saturday) morning and destroyed its southern section,
leaving behind massive destruction following several days of non-stop
attacks and siege.”</p>
<p><b>Horrific violations</b><br>
This followed “several days of non-stop attacks and siege,” the group
said, noting that “nine days ago, Israeli tanks had besieged the
hospital, with Israeli snipers taking over the surrounding buildings and
shooting at anyone passing by.”</p>
<p>During the nine-day siege, “horrific violations” were witnessed by the facility, according to the human rights group.</p>
<p>“Israeli forces directly bombed the hospital’s maternity ward on
Monday, December 11, killing two women and their two babies and
amputating a third woman’s legs,” the report stated, adding that Israeli
forces detained the hospital director, Dr. Ahmed Al-Kahlot, “and
transferred more than 70 health personnel from the hospital to an
unknown destination.”</p>
<p>“Euro-Med Monitor received testimonies confirming that an elderly man
was recently starved to death in the hospital, while another was killed
after an Israeli military dog was let loose on him,” the report added.</p>
<p><b>Buried alive</b><br>
On Saturday morning, before leaving the medical facility, “Israeli
bulldozers buried Palestinian civilians alive in the hospital courtyard,
according to testimonies (Euro-Med Monitor) received from media and
medical crews on the ground.”</p>
<p>“At least one of the bodies could be seen amid the sand piles,
witnesses said, confirming that the victim was injured before being
buried and killed,” the report added.</p>
<p>Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif wrote on X after visiting the
hospital following the withdrawal of Israeli forces, that “what the
Israeli occupation did inside Kamal Adwan Hospital is a heinous crime
against the residents and medical staff.”</p>
<p>The video taken by al-Sharif shows that the courtyard, which
contained many tents housing displaced Palestinians, was deliberately
bulldozed by Israeli occupation forces.</p>
<p>In the video, al-Sharif showed what looks like a dismembered limb,
saying: “This is the body of an injured refugee who was in the hospital
and was run over by Israeli bulldozers.”</p>
<p>According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 18,800 Palestinians have been
killed and more than 51,000 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in
Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say
that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.</p>
