The ‘Israeli’ occupation forces (IOF) besieged the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, early Saturday morning, preventing anyone from entering or exiting the facility. Marwan Sultan, the hospital’s director, confirmed that the hospital is currently non-operational, with all individuals inside surrounded by IOF.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the Israeli artillery also bombed the upper floors of the hospital, which houses over 40 patients along with medical staff. The ministry reported a complete power outage at the hospital.
Eyewitnesses stated that a group of displaced people was targeted in front of the hospital’s entrance, with heavy gunfire directed at the building and its grounds, causing widespread fear among patients and staff.
The occupation forces have intensified their targeting of the health system in northern Gaza, also besieging and attacking the Kamal Adwan and Al Awda hospitals. Local media reported that Israeli tanks have even demolished part of the wall surrounding the Indonesian Hospital, while the hospital’s generator has stopped working due to the ongoing assault.
With the Indonesian Hospital now non-operational, the Kamal Adwan Hospital has become the only functional facility in northern Gaza, even as the area faces a worsening humanitarian crisis due to the siege and systematic destruction of the healthcare infrastructure.
