GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement called on the international community, the World Health Organization and the Red Cross to intervene immediately to halt Israel’s assault on what remains of Gaza’s healthcare system.
In its statement released on Friday, Hamas condemned the attack on the Indonesian Hospital, describing it as part of a broader plan of genocide and forced displacement targeting Palestinians in Gaza.
The Movement also appealed to “free peoples” worldwide to stand in solidarity with Palestinians and intensify pressure on Israel to end its ongoing crimes, which it said are being carried out with American support.
The Israeli army earlier threatened the Indonesian Hospital management, its medical staff and patients inside to immediately leave the hospital, “otherwise, it will be struck with everyone inside.”
The Israeli army has already attacked the Kamal Adwan Hospital, putting it out of service, while the Indonesian and Al-Awda hospitals in northern Gaza are still struggling to offer services.
Along the same line, the Gaza’s Government Media Office (GMO) stated: “The Israeli occupation continues its heinous crimes and arbitrary aggression against hospitals and medical teams in northern Gaza, reflecting a dangerous and deliberate escalation.”
These acts, it added, are being carried out amid “unjustified silence of the international community and the UN Security Council,” violating international humanitarian law and human rights conventions.
The GMO highlighted the complete destruction of Kamal Adwan Hospital, where its director, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, was arrested and reportedly subjected to physical and psychological abuse. The media office described these acts as “full-fledged war crimes.”
The GMO also noted escalating threats to other hospitals, including the Indonesian and Al-Awda hospitals, which it says reflect a calculated effort to dismantle Gaza’s health care infrastructure and deny Palestinians their right to medical care.
These measures, the GMO said, are part of the so-called “Generals’ Plan,” aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinians from northern Gaza, which it labeled as ethnic cleansing.
The GMO also held the Israeli government, its US backers, and complicit states fully responsible for the consequences of these aggressive policies.
It called on the international community, the UN, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the International Committee of the Red Cross to “take firm positions and concrete actions to condemn and halt these crimes, rebuild and repair hospitals, and ensure accountability of those responsible.”
It also demanded an independent international investigation into these violations and accountability of Israel in international courts.
According to a recent report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Israeli military has conducted over 136 airstrikes targeting at least 27 hospitals and 12 medical facilities across Gaza in the past eight months.
