Israeli forces detained dozens of medical staff from a north Gaza hospital they raided on Dec 27, the enclave's Health Ministry said.

CAIRO/JERUSALEM - Israeli forces detained dozens of medical staff from a north Gaza hospital they raided on Dec 27, the enclave's Health Ministry said.

The Israeli military raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya on Dec 27, ordering dozens of patients and hundreds of others to evacuate and detaining medical staff, including the facility's director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya.

The Health Ministry said it was not clear what was happening to Dr Abu Safiya, adding that it was concerned about his well-being after some of the staff freed by the army late on Dec 27 reported that he was beaten up by soldiers.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the detainees.

The raid on the hospital, one of three medical facilities on the northern edge of Gaza, means the last major health facility in north Gaza has been put out of service, the World Health Organisation said in a post on X.
