All hospitals in northern Gaza are now out of service, as Israeli forces continue to surround, besiege and target key medical facilities. The Indonesian Hospital has come under direct assault just days after the Gaza European Hospital was forced out of operation.
According to the director-general of Gaza’s health ministry, Israeli forces fired directly at the intensive care unit, hitting a patient without warning. Fifty-five people, including eight nurses and four doctors, remain trapped inside the facility.
Communication with hospital staff was lost on Sunday.
