Health Ministry warns patients could die from lack of food, water as UN official briefs Security Council on conditions.
Dozens of wounded patients at the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza are at risk of dying due to lack of food and water, Palestinian health authorities have said.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said late on Tuesday that 60 patients were “at risk of death”.
“The humanitarian situation inside the hospital has become extremely dangerous, as the wounded lack basic needs, which increases their suffering under the difficult conditions imposed by [Israeli] forces,” the ministry said in a statement on Telegram on Tuesday.
The hospital is located in Beit Lahiya in the north of the Gaza Strip, which has been under Israeli military siege since early October.
In its separate daily update on the death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza, the ministry said that at least 28 people had been killed and 54 others injured in “four massacres against families”.
