Satellite images reviewed by Al Jazeera show Israeli army vehicles surrounding the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.

The vehicles are stationed 60 to 100 metres from the hospital building, where a number of medical staff, patients and companions are still sheltering.

The Israeli army has also surrounded al-Awda Hospital in Tel al-Zaatar, close to the Indonesian Hospital.

The images showed a fire in the hospital’s medicine warehouse, which lasted for days until civil defence teams managed to get coordination to control it. This warehouse is the only supply source for the hospital.

Local reports confirmed that Israeli army vehicles are advancing in the vicinity of al-Awda, and the hospital area is under continuous attack. The Tel al-Zaatar area and its surroundings have been subjected to continuous Israeli bombing and incursions for at least two weeks.
