Israeli forces have forced the evacuation of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, displacing patients and raising concerns about the impact on healthcare in the region.
Israel i troops forced the evacuation of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza and many patients, some of them on foot, arrived at another hospital miles away in Gaza City, the territory's health ministry said on Tuesday.The Indonesian Hospital is one of the Gaza Strip's few still partially functioning hospitals, on its northern edge, an area that has been under intense Israel i military pressure for nearly three months.
Israel says its operation around the three northern Gaza communities surrounding the hospital—Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and Jabalia—is targeting Hamas militants.A statement from the Israeli military said the Indonesian Hospital was being used by fighters to launch attacks against Israeli troops and that it 'facilitated the secure evacuation of civilians, medical personnel, and patients from the area both before and during the operation.'Palestinians accuse Israel of seeking to permanently depopulate northern Gaza to create a buffer zone, which Israel denies.Munir Al-Bursh, director of the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, said the Israeli army had ordered hospital officials to evacuate it on Monday, before storming it in the early hours of Tuesday and forcing those inside to leave.He said two other medical facilities in northern Gaza, Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan Hospitals, were also subject to frequent assaults by Israeli troops.Israeli forces have operated in the vicinity of the Kamal Adwan hospital since Monday, medics said.Officials at the three hospitals have refused orders by Israel to evacuate their facilities or leave patients unattended since the new military offensive began on Oct. 5.Israel says it has been facilitating the delivery of medical supplies, fuel and the transfer of patients to other hospitals in the enclave during that period in collaboration with international agencies such as the World Health Organizatio
