US EditionNorthern Gaza's Main Hospital Is Forced to Close as Israeli Operation Escalates, Health Ministry Says
- On May 18, 2025, the last operational public hospital in northern Gaza was shut down due to intensified Israeli airstrikes and a siege around the Indonesian Hospital in the Jabaliya refugee camp.
- This closure follows months of intensified Israeli airstrikes and a ground operation called Gideon's Chariots aimed at pressuring Hamas to release hostages and agree to a ceasefire.
- The intensifying conflict has killed over 53,000 Palestinians since October 2023, including many women and children, and has caused widespread displacement and humanitarian collapse.
- Hospital spokesperson Weam Fares reported at least 103 people killed overnight including 18 children and 13 women, while the Gaza health ministry said all public hospitals in northern Gaza are now out of service.
- The hospital closure deepens Gaza’s health crisis and suggests critical shortages in medical care amid ongoing Israeli military actions and a blockade restricting aid.
