Overview
- The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that all public hospitals in North Gaza are now out of service following the shutdown of the Indonesian Hospital on May 18, 2025.
- Israeli military actions, including heavy fire and a siege around the Indonesian Hospital, cut off access for patients, staff, and supplies, forcing its closure.
- The Indonesian Hospital was the last operational public healthcare facility in the region, marking the complete collapse of the public health system in North Gaza.
- Previous closures of major hospitals like Kamal Adwan and Beit Hanoun in 2024 had already severely weakened the region's healthcare infrastructure.
- At least 125 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes since dawn, intensifying the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
