JAKARTA - All hospitals in Rafah were unable to operate, amid an Israeli attack, the Health Ministry said on Tuesday.

Medical sources reported that all hospitals in the Rafah Governor's Office, south of the Gaza Strip, were not functioning, except for the Tal Al-Sultan Clinical Hospital, as reported by WAFA on May 28.

The source emphasized that only Bertalin Tal Sultan Hospital is still struggling to survive and continue to provide services to patients.

Since the start of the attack on Rafah, six hospitals have been unable to operate due to Israel's continuing attacks, targeting many hospitals and primary care centers.

Israel continues to launch an attack on Rafah on the pretext of destroying the remains of a battalion of the Hamas militant group in the city, despite international condemnation, as well as an order by the International Court (ICJ) to stop its operations in Rafah last week.

It was stated that the attack caused Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, Abu Al-Walid Central Clinic, Rafah Field Hospital (2), Kuwait Special Hospital, Indonesian Field Hospital and Tal Al-Sultan Clinic to be operational.

Israeli attacks on hospitals and health centers caused severe damage, killing a number of health workers working there, making it difficult for residents to reach them.

Earlier, the United Nations and international organizations had previously warned that occupational troops would target health systems and medical staff in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, medical sources reported at least 46 teas and 110 others injured in Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours.

That brings the death toll of Palestinians as a result of Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023 to 36,096 people, while the injured to 81,136 people.
