Palestinian Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan warned on Saturday that patients in treatment centers in the Gaza Strip, especially in the north, could die at any moment as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocide for the 15th consecutive day and the targeting of hospitals.

Abu Ramadan said in a statement that "the patients, the wounded and the health cadres in the treatment centers in the southern governorates (Gaza Strip) are suffering from extremely critical conditions, and they are exposed to death at any moment."

He continued, "Today (Saturday) we lost two patients due to the occupation forces' siege of the Indonesian Hospital (in the northern Gaza Strip), and the interruption of electricity and the necessary medical supplies."

The Palestinian Minister renewed his "appeal to all international health and human rights institutions and organizations, and the international community, to take more action to protect our patients and wounded and provide more health support."

Earlier on Saturday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the Israeli army had intensified its targeting of the health system in the northern Gaza Strip, in a clear attempt to put it out of service.

The ministry said in a statement: "The Israeli occupation is intensifying its targeting of the health system in the northern Gaza Strip, through its siege and direct targeting of the Indonesian Hospital, Kamal Adwan Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital during the past hours."

She added: "The occupation aims to put the health system out of service."

On the fifteenth day of the Israeli military attack in the northern Gaza Strip, the army escalated its ethnic cleansing crimes, committing horrific, bloody massacres that claimed the lives of dozens of Palestinians, in addition to targeting hospitals and medical staff.

On Saturday, Israeli tanks penetrated the northern Gaza Strip, reaching the gate of the Indonesian Hospital in the Sheikh Zayed area, and besieged the hospital and demolished part of its walls, according to medical sources for Anadolu.

Israeli artillery also targeted the upper floors of Al-Awda Hospital three times, injuring a number of medical staff, according to a statement issued by the hospital.

This comes in conjunction with the Israeli army continuing its campaign of extermination in the northern Gaza Strip for 15 days, by bombing homes and shelters, and blowing up, destroying and burning entire residential neighborhoods, in addition to preventing the entry of food and water into the area, which has left hundreds of martyrs and wounded, amidst the almost complete disruption of the work of ambulance and civil defense crews as a result of being targeted by Israeli forces or prevented from performing their duties.
