The Kamal Adwan Hospital has been hit multiple times over the past three months by Israeli troops, according to staff.
Israel’s military said it was conducting operations against Hamas infrastructure and fighters in the area of the hospital, without providing details.
The Health Ministry said troops forced medical personnel and patients to assemble in the hospital yard and remove their clothes amid the winter temperatures.
The ministry said troops set fires in several parts of Kamal Adwan, including the hospital’s lab and surgery department.
The ministry’s account could not be independently confirmed, and attempts to contact hospital staff were unsuccessful.
Since October, Israel’s offensive has virtually sealed off the north Gaza areas of Jabaliya, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya and levelled large parts of the districts.
As Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Doha try to reach a ceasefire agreement, the UN has reported that infants and newborns are dying of exposure in Gaza.
“These preventable deaths lay bare the desperate and deteriorating conditions facing families and children across Gaza,” said Mr. Beigbeder.

Meanwhile Israel and Yemen’s Houthi rebels continue their simmering conflict.
Israel says about 400 missiles and drones have been launched at the country by Yemen since the start of the war in Gaza that started in October 2023.
On Thursday Israel attacked Sanaa International Airport in Yemen with one of the air-launched missiles landing close to where World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was waiting to board a flight.
Ghebreyesus said Friday on X that a UN colleague wounded in the strike underwent surgery and was in stable condition, but has not yet been evacuated from Yemen.
The strikes Thursday afternoon at the airport and the Hodeida seaport killed six people and wounded 40 others, according to the Health Ministry.
