Gaza: Death toll rises to 13,000, Israel shells Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza

Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on besieged Gaza — now in its 45th day — has killed over 13,000 Palestinians, including 5,500 children, and wounded 29,000.

Israel has continued its deadly strikes on Gaza, targeting several areas in the enclave, including the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital.

At least eight Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured as a result of the Israeli army artillery’s direct targeting of Indonesian Hospital and its surroundings with shells and missiles in northern Gaza, medical sources said, in addition to firing live bullets at anyone moving outside the hospital’s door.

They added that the Israeli army’s artillery targeted the second floor of the hospital, which led to the extensive destruction of the place, in addition to injuring two doctors during their work.

The medical sources said the death toll was increasing, especially as the electricity was cut off and it was difficult to carry out surgical operations to save the lives of the wounded.

According to eyewitnesses, the Israeli shelling caused the hospital to lose electricity after its generators stopped working.
