Indonesian hospital and al-Awda hospital are among the region’s last surviving medical centers.

Both have come under fire this week , including shelling as The Associated Press spoke to its director on the phone.

A third hospital, Kamal Adwan , is out of service, its director said, citing Israeli troops and drones in its vicinity.

Israeli military has raided or laid siege to hospitals throughout the war, accusing Hamas of using them as command centers and to hide fighters.

A video shows damage to the roof and debris in the corridors, with dust still rising from the area.

About 47 patients, including nearly 20 children and several pregnant women, and 140 doctors and medical staff members are still at the hospital.

The hospital board decided not to evacuate the hospital and called for supplies and the return of ambulances.

The Israeli military had no comment when asked on the situation.
