    Martyr Dr. Marwan Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza (Social media)

The Ministry of Health in Gaza on Wednesday mourned the martyrdom of Dr. Marwan al-Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, who was killed alongside several members of his family in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his home in Gaza City.

In a statement, the Health Ministry condemned what it described as a deliberate and heinous crime against a prominent figure in the medical and humanitarian field, emphasizing that “every crime against medical and humanitarian personnel reveals the Israeli occupation's bloody doctrine and its persistent intent to directly and deliberately target them.”

Dr. al-Sultan was widely known for his decades-long service in the medical field. The health ministry described his life as one dedicated to healing and compassion. "He was a symbol of devotion, resilience, and integrity, especially during the most difficult and painful moments endured by the Palestinian people under ongoing aggression," the statement read.

The targeting of Dr. al-Sultan marks another blow to the already devastated healthcare sector in the Gaza Strip, which continues to suffer under relentless Israeli attacks, the systematic destruction of hospitals, and a crippling blockade that has severely obstructed medical access.

The assassination of medical personnel like Dr. al-Sultan constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and reflects the Israeli regime’s systematic assault on Gaza’s health infrastructure, Gaza's health ministry underscored. 

Dozens killed per day

Egyptian convoy enters Gaza to help recover captive remains

Dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes in various areas of the Gaza Strip, while thousands were forced to flee once again after "Israel" issued new evacuation threats for residential areas.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that 28 Palestinians have been killed as a result of ongoing Israeli airstrikes across the Strip since this morning.

Additionally, Gaza hospitals received on Tuesday 116 martyrs, four of whom were recovered from under the rubble, and 463 injured victims over the past 24 hours, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health's report published on Tuesday.

With this, the death toll of the brutal Israeli war on Gaza rises to 56,657 martyrs, and 134,105 injured since the launch of the war on October 7, while the total number of casualties since March 18, 2025, has reached 6,315 martyrs and 22,064 injuries

More dialysis centers shut down

Meanwhile, Gaza's Health Ministry announced on Tuesday that dialysis services at al-Shifa Medical Complex had been suspended due to a lack of fuel, warning that without immediate fuel supplies, all patients and wounded individuals in hospitals would face certain death.

Last month, Israeli occupation forces destroyed the Noura al-Kaabi dialysis center in northern Gaza. The facility was affiliated with the Indonesian Hospital, located in the northern part of the Strip, which has been repeatedly besieged by Israeli forces who have opened fire on anyone moving within its grounds.

Simultaneously, a Palestinian in Gaza reported that thousands were displaced once again after "Israel" issued new evacuation warnings for certain areas, while its tanks advanced into eastern districts of Gaza City in the north, Khan Younis, and Rafah in the south.

Ismail, a resident of Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, told Reuters that newly displaced families were setting up tents along the roadside after fleeing areas in the northern and eastern parts of the city, with no other available land left for shelter.
