DayofPal– Patients who fled Kamal Adwan hospital at an Israeli order are now trapped in the besieged Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza with no food or water provided to them amid constant Israeli shelling.
Al Jazeera managed to interview some of the patients and injured Palestinians trapped there and recorded their testimonies and details of suffering while calling for international intervention to help them before it is too late.
Many of those who shared harrowing details under the Israeli blockade of the facility fear a the same fate of the devastation seen at Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Shadi Abu Khreis, who was wounded in his leg, said that they came to the Indonesian Hospital from Kamal Adwan because the Israeli army told them it would be safer here.
“But then they ordered us to Walk to the checkpoint on foot. I can’t walk. Even getting to the bathroom takes me ten minutes each way, and it leaves me exhausted,” Shadi said.
Another patient Aliyan Mohammed shared his own grim conditions: “There are no medications. On top of that, we face daily terror—shelling and direct gunfire targeting the hospital.”
Aliyan described the dire conditions caused by the relentless blockade on the hospital, saying “I’m injured, sitting here eating bread and olives. I can’t find anything else to eat, and there’s no water to drink. I need to eat to take my medication, but I can’t.”
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza recently announced that the Indonesian Hospital is officially out of service and can no longer provide care for patients or the wounded.
Concerns are growing for the injured and healthcare workers in Gaza, especially in the northern parts of the Gaza Strip, as Israeli attacks on hospitals and medical teams persist.
On December 27, the latest Israeli atrocities against the health sector unfolded in Beit Lahiya with the Israeli army torching of Kamal Adwan Hospital after abducting its medics and stealing patients files and electrical generators.
