Gaza, MINA – The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza warned on Saturday about dire conditions faced by patients forcibly evacuated under Israeli military orders from Kamal Adwan Hospital to the Indonesian Hospital, which had already suffered severe damage from earlier Israeli air strikes, Anadolu Agency reports.
In a statement, the ministry said: “A harrowing night has passed for the forcibly evacuated patients, who are now in critical conditions at the Indonesian Hospital without access to water, electricity, food, or medical supplies.”
The ministry emphasized that “the countdown to losing their lives has begun, as most of the Kamal Adwan medical staff have been detained by Israeli forces.”
It noted that the Israeli army had destroyed the Indonesian Hospital’s infrastructure before forcing the transfer of patients there.

The Health Ministry called on international organizations to intervene urgently to address the patients’ critical needs.
On Friday, Israeli forces removed patients and medical staff from Kamal Adwan Hospital at gunpoint and transferred them to the damaged Indonesian Hospital.
The attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital resulted in the loss of the last fully functioning medical facility in northern Gaza.
Israel’s offensive has killed nearly 45,500 people in Gaza since a cross-border Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, reducing the enclave to rubble.
