Israel orders evacuation of besieged Indonesian Hospital

Israel has ordered the evacuation of the besieged Indonesian Hospital, according to Arabic media reports. 

Mounir Al-Barsh, director-general of the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza, told Al Jazeera TV that the Israeli military had ordered the evacuation of the hospital.

Palestinian news agency Wafa news, reported that the hospital administrator had received a WhatsApp message ordering the evacuation.

The message had “created a state of panic” at the hospital, the administrator told Wafa.

At least 12 people have been killed by Israeli strikes on the hospital in recent days. Israel raided al-Shifa Hospital earlier and forcibly displaced medical workers and injured patients. 

Israeli tanks have surrounded Indonesian Hospital for days. Ceilings in some wards have totally collapsed, windows have been smashed and dead bodies are also piling up. There has been no electricity since the start of the siege.

Journalists inside the hospital say that anyone who moves is being shot at.
