At least 2,600 people, including patients, displaced civilians and medical staff, are still inside the besieged Indonesia Hospital in northern Gaza Strip.
In a statement, Ashraf al-Qudra, the spokesman of the Gaza-based Health Ministry, said, "400 injured and their attendants are still in the (Indonesia) hospital, in addition to 200 medical personnel and some 2,000 displaced people."
Al-Qudra also said that there are 259 injured people, a number of civilians and medical personnel still inside the Al-Shifa Hospital.
The health spokesman said there is no date yet for their evacuation from the Al-Shifa Hospital which is under complete Israeli control.
Al-Qudra confirmed that all hospitals in Gaza City and northern areas of the Gaza Strip are out of service from the Israeli ongoing onslaught against Gaza.
He added that a delegation from the World Health Organization visited the Al-Shifa Hospital in recent days to coordinate evacuation of those people who are still inside the hospital.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7.
Authorities in Gaza said Monday that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the enclave since Oct. 7 has jumped to over 13,300 including 5,600 children and 3,550 women.
The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, is around 1,200, according to official figures.
