US EditionTwo of the last functioning hospitals in northern Gaza are encircled by Israeli forces, staff say
- As of mid-May 2025, Israeli forces have surrounded two of northern Gaza's last operational hospitals, the Indonesian and al-Awda, effectively cutting off all access to and from these medical facilities.
- The encirclement follows Israeli evacuation orders issued ahead of intensified attacks aimed at pressuring Hamas to release hostages, with some reports differing on details.
- The Indonesian hospital, positioned about 500 meters from Israeli forces, suffered damage from airstrikes and bulldozers, while al-Awda faced drone fire that restricted movement, with roughly 47 patients and 140 staff remaining.
- The World Health Organization documented nearly 700 attacks on Gaza health facilities during the 19-month conflict, warning northern hospitals risk total shutdown amid dwindling supplies and ongoing hostilities.
- Hospital staff, including al-Awda board member Rami Shurafi, stated Israel aims to forcibly displace Gaza’s population southward and beyond, intensifying the humanitarian crisis and stressing local health systems.
