On Sunday evening the health ministry in Gaza estimated that the death toll surged to over 13000 martyrs mostly women and children while the number of the wounded citizens climbed to over 30200 although the real number of casualties is believed to be much more than that as there are many civilians still under the rubble of buildings.

According to the latest developments the Israeli occupation army attacked the third floor of the Indonesian Hospital including the inpatient department and the intensive care department killing several patients and some of their relatives and wounding others.

Spokesman for the health ministry Ashraf al-Qudra warned that the Israeli occupation forces advanced towards the Sheikh Zayed City in Beit Lahia (northern Gaza) besieged the Indonesian Hospital with tanks and snipers and bombed its third floor.

The artillery attack on the hospital killed at least 12 civilians including patients caregivers and doctors and wounded many others.

“We are now stranded inside the hospital and anyone who tries to leave is shot by the occupation forces. We will continue covering any developments” one of the journalists at the facility reported.

“The situation is extremely bad and medical crews are no longer able to provide any services for the sick and wounded” the journalist added.

According to the Government Media Office in Gaza there are thousands of patients wounded and displaced people and medical personnel inside the besieged hospital.

In a street near the Indonesian Hospital Israeli tanks also bombed at dawn Monday the School of Kuwait which houses displaced families killing and injuring a large number of civilians.

For his part director general of the Gaza hospitals Mohamed Zaqqout said that Israeli troops also attacked the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia and ordered its evacuation.

Zaqqout affirmed that it would be impossible to evacuate the Kamal Adwan Hospital and the Indonesian Hospital which are filled with hundreds of sick and wounded civilians including those in the intensive care units.

A number of casualties were also reported today when Israeli tanks bombed displaced people in Abu Qamar street near the Khulafa junction in northern Gaza.

Earlier at least 17 civilians were killed and several others were injured when an Israeli warplane bombed at dawn two homes belonging to the families of Abu Shallouf and Duhair in eastern Rafah south of the Gaza Strip.

Over 30 civilians were also martyred and many others were wounded during dawn aerial attacks on the refugee camps of al-Bureij and Nuseirat in central Gaza.

Warplanes also bombed several homes in Deir al-Balah City in central Gaza over the heads of their residents.

Other deadly Israeli attacks on homes and buildings took place in different areas of Gaza in the past few hours while ambulance and rescue crews are still unable to reach many of the victims especially in Gaza City and the north.
