All hospitals in north Gaza out of service, says health ministry


All three public hospitals in north Gaza have been put “out of service”, the Hamas-run health ministry has said, as Israel continues its offensive to seize areas of the territory.

The ministry said on Sunday Israeli forces had besieged the Indonesian hospital in Beit Lahia, “with heavy fire… preventing the arrival of patients, medical staff, and supplies”.

The hospital was the last in the north to be operating, it said.

Israel’s military on Saturday announced the launch of “Operation Gideon’s Chariot”, amid the deadliest wave of strikes in Gaza in months.

Hamas offered to release nine hostages in exchange for a 60-day truce and the release of Palestinian prisoners, a Palestinian official told the BBC after new negotiations were held on Saturday.

The health ministry said on Sunday: “After the destruction of Beit Hanoun Hospital and Kamal Adwan Hospital, and the Indonesian Hospital being put out of service, all public hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip are now out of service.”
