Northern Gaza's Main Hospital Is Forced to Close as Israeli Operation Escalates, Health Ministry Says

On May 18, 2025, Israeli strikes forced the last operating public hospital in northern Gaza, the Indonesian Hospital, to close amid intensified attacks across the Gaza Strip.
This closure followed the destruction of other main northern Gaza hospitals last year and escalated Israeli military operations named 'Operation Gideon's Chariot' aimed at pressuring Hamas.
Overnight, Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip resulted in at least 103 fatalities, including many women and children, with significant casualties reported near Khan Younis and within the Jabaliya refugee camp, according to Gaza health officials.
Gaza health ministry spokesperson Khalil Al-Deqran reported that Israeli airstrikes have completely erased entire families from official records, with at least 100 people confirmed dead overnight.
The hospital closures and intensified violence highlight the worsening humanitarian crisis and the continued siege in Gaza during an ongoing 19-month conflict with no ceasefire in place.
