All three public hospitals in northern Gaza are now out of service, according to the Hamas health ministry. Israeli forces have besieged the Indonesian hospital in Beit Lahia, preventing access for patients, staff, and supplies. This follows Israel's launch of "Operation Gideon's Chariot", resulting in the most intense fighting in Gaza in recent months. The loss of all northern Gaza hospitals significantly impacts healthcare access for the region's residents.
