In northern Gaza, the director of the Indonesian hospital says the lack of fuel forced the facility to cut power to their desalination plant, medical scanners and lifts.

“The hospital is working with 30-40 percent of its capacity,” Atef Al-Kahlot said. “We call on the honourable people of the world, if any of them are left, to put pressure on the occupation forces to supply the Indonesian Hospital and the rest of the hospitals in the Gaza Strip.”

Hospitals have become key sites for tens of thousands of Palestinians seeking refuge from intense gun battles and Israeli bombardment.
