184 Palestinians killed in three days in Gaza and the Indonesian hospital is out of service
The Israeli occupation killed 184 Palestinians in bombing that targeted various areas of the Gaza Strip within 72 hours, while the Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip went out of service.
Medical sources confirmed that 66 Palestinians out of the 184 were martyred yesterday, Saturday alone.
A number of Palestinians, mostly women and children, were injured in two Israeli airstrikes that targeted three homes in the Abu Iskandar neighborhood, west of Gaza City.
Palestinian civil defense teams continue to search for people trapped under the rubble, while ambulance crews transferred the injured to the Baptist Hospital in Gaza, where some of their conditions were described as critical.
Local sources confirmed that the occupation aircraft bombed a house in the vicinity of the old Sultan Mosque in Al-Shawa Square in Gaza City, and targeted the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of the city, which led to injuries.
In the middle of the Strip, local Palestinian websites reported that drones fired at the vicinity of the clinic north of Al-Maghazi camp, and 4 people were killed and others were injured when a drone bombed a tent in front of the gate of a school housing displaced people in Al-Bureij camp.
The Israeli occupation forces fired flares over the Arab Baptist Hospital and its surroundings in Gaza City, causing a state of terror among the medical staff and patients - especially children and women - in the hospital and its surroundings.
Indonesian hospital out of service
In this context, the Ministry of Health announced that the Indonesian hospital was out of service and no longer provided any services to patients or the wounded.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza is still completely out of service.
Ghebreyesus added in a post on the X website that the organization has not received any updates on the safety of its director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, since his arrest on December 27.
He stressed that the organization continues to urge Israel to release him, and stressed that attacks on hospitals and health workers must stop.
Civil Defense Crisis
Meanwhile, the New York Times quoted the International Committee of the Red Cross as saying that rescue workers in the Gaza Strip are facing dangerous conditions and are working without sufficient equipment, vehicles or fuel.
Rescuers are often left alone to extract survivors from under tons of rock, concrete and metal with primitive tools, she added.
