The number of hospitals that have gone out of service since the beginning of Israel’s offensive in Gaza has reached 21.
This is according to a new update from Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra. The previous number given by the ministry was 18 hospitals.
Al-Qudra also said Israel has bombed Al-Shifa Hospital buildings five times since Thursday night.
The Hamas-run government of the Gaza Strip said an Israeli attack on the Al-Shifa hospital has killed at least 13 people.
Israeli tanks are surrounding four hospitals from all directions, specifically Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Nasser Hospital, Government Eyes Hospital and the Mental Health Hospital, the Ministry said.
