The Israeli army has intensified its attacks on the health facilities in northern Gaza, as it besieges and “directly targets” the Indonesian Hospital, Kamal Adwan Hospital, and al-Awda Hospital in the past hours, according to a statement from the enclave’s health ministry, Al Jazeera reports.

The Israeli army is “forcing the wounded and patients to evacuate the Indonesian Hospital”, it said.

It stressed that the Israeli “bombing is targeting all the departments of the Kamal Adwan Hospital and its surroundings around the clock without stopping”.

“Shrapnel is scattered inside the hospital yard, causing terrifying sounds and serious damage,” the statement added.

“We appeal to all international and UN institutions and concerned parties to urgently intervene to protect the health system in the Gaza Strip,” the ministry said.
