Israeli Forces Targeting 3 Hospitals, Medical Centers in Gaza Strip

After more than two months of siege and war, Israeli forces have been targeting three hospitals and medical centers in the Gaza Strip.

Voice of Palestine Radio, the official broadcaster of the Palestinian Authority, reported that Israeli snipers occupied the third floor of the Indonesian Hospital, adding that the occupation forces are also besieging Al-Awda Hospital, which is the main and only provider of maternity services in the northern Gaza Strip.

Moreover, the Ministry of Health in Gaza mentioned that the Israeli army is besieging and targeting Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, north of Gaza City, exposing the lives of those in it to death.

The Israeli forces raided the hospital and detained its director, the ministry noted.

In a post on X, the World Health Organization's chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that he was "extremely worried" by reports of the raid, adding that his agency "urgently calls for the protection of all persons inside the hospital".

Earlier, the UN humanitarian agency OCHA had said fighting had been reported near the hospital for three consecutive days.
