Gaza City: The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Sunday that all public hospitals in the north of the territory were now "out of service" after Israeli forces besieged the Indonesian hospital.

"The Israeli occupation has intensified its siege with heavy fire around the Indonesian hospital and its surroundings, preventing the arrival of patients, medical staff, and supplies - effectively forcing the hospital out of service," the ministry said.

"All public hospitals in the North Gaza governorate are now out of service," it added.

Meanwhile, Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli strikes killed at least 50 people in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory on Sunday.

"According to preliminary figures, at least 50 people have been martyred in the Gaza Strip as a result of ongoing Israeli air strikes since the early hours," agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.
