The Gaza Ministry of Health said the Israeli military has stepped up its attacks on hospitals in the northern Gaza, calling for "urgent protection" of medical personnel and facilities in the occupied territories.
In a statement on Tuesday, the ministry said that Israel has besieged and been “directly” targeting three major hospitals in the area, namely the Indonesian Hospital, Kamal Adwan Hospital, and al-Awda Hospital over the past hours, Press TV reported.
The Israeli army is “forcing the wounded and patients to evacuate the Indonesian Hospital”, it added.
The health ministry 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,” it 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 pointed out.
