On Saturday, August 2nd, Israel announced a unilateral withdrawal from the locations it has invaded in north, east and south of Gaza Strip. The Israeli army informed people who were displaced from their homes in the north, to return, except for the Beit Hanoun area. Later on, the Israeli army announced that this step does not mark the end of its military operation and that air strikes will go on, and today we’re witnessing an intensification of attacks by warplanes.
Today, our team visited Ezbat Beit Hanoun clinic. On the way there, we could see no one in the streets. As we walked into the clinic, we found out that it had sustained so much damage, with a shell hitting the first floor and another hitting the roof. Walls have been broken, windows fell and instruments are damaged. The clinic is not going to be operative until all this damaged is repaired.
