Israel Army storms Gaza's Indonesian Hospital, orders Patients and Staff to Leave

Israel Army storms Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital, orders Patients and Staff to Leave

( Middle East Monitor ) – Israeli occupation forces today stormed the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, made threats against its medical staff and patients, and ordered its immediate evacuation, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

According to media sources, the hospital is now under tight siege from Israeli forces, which keep firing live ammunition around it.

Most of those inside the besieged hospital are women and children as well as a number of wounded people who are completely unable to move.

The director of the Indonesian Hospital already stated that the facility had run out of all medical supplies, calling for urgent international action to save the lives of wounded civilians.

He pointed out that the Israeli army continued to bulldoze and destroy the area around the hospital today.

He added that the Israeli army also destroyed the hospital’s oxygen and electricity sections, making it impossible to provide vital medical services.

The attack on the health facility comes one week after Israel raided and forcibly evacuated the Kamal Adwan Hospital, sending those in need of urgent medical care to the Indonesian Hospital.

There are now no operational hospitals in northern Gaza, leaving the lives of the 300,000 Palestinians in the area at risk, while Israel continues what Amnesty International and other rights groups have declared is a genocide against the Palestinian people.
