Doctors digging graves inside Gaza's Indonesian Hospital as Israeli siege continues
ISRAELI OCCUPIED GAZA, 22 Oct. - (ANA) - As Israeli forces continue a siege on northern Gaza, doctors at the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahia are forced to dig graves for the dead inside the centre's grounds.
The army has surrounded the hospital and patients were killed after Israeli bombed the hospital generators, cutting off oxygen supplies, Health Ministry Director Dr Munir Al Borsh said.
"Even the option of prioritising the wounded is no longer available, as many of the injured were left to bleed to death yesterday due to the number of casualties," he said.
"Doctors and medical staff dig graves to bury the martyrs inside the hospital, which is besieged by tanks, as they are unable to leave," he added.
Israeli forces have bombed shelters inside the hospital, arrested displaced men and burnt the shelters so people cannot return, he added.
Several other hospitals in northern Gaza are also under attack. - (ANA) -
