Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza:
—
In light of the ongoing and expanding brutal "israeli" incursion in Rafah Governorate, and its deliberate targeting of numerous hospitals and primary care centers in the governorate, which has caused severe damage, the martyrdom of several health workers, and difficulty for citizens to access these facilities, the situation has led to the initial shutdown of Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, Abu Al-Walid Central Clinic, Rafah Field Hospital (2), and Kuwait Specialty Hospital.
As a result of the continued deliberate violations by the occupation against health institutions, with the targeting of the Indonesian Field Hospital last night and the bombing of the area around Tel Al-Sultan Clinic:
We note the shutdown of both the Indonesian Field Hospital and Tal Sultan Clinic in Rafah Governorate, leaving only Tal Al-Sultan Maternity Hospital struggling to continue providing services to patients in Rafah Governorate.
We reaffirm our call to all international and UN institutions to provide protection for all hospitals, health workers, and ambulances from the oppression and arrogance of the Israeli occupation.
