By Zeynep Tufekci Gulay

ISTANBUL (AA) - The electricity was cut off at the Indonesian Hospital in the Jabalia region in northern Gaza, where thousands of displaced Palestinians, as well as the wounded and sick, are taking shelter, according to the Health Ministry.

The generators stopped running due to a fuel depletion and the hospital was plunged into darkness, it said.

Director of the hospital Atef al-Kahlout, said Nov. 8 that it only had enough fuel for 24 hours.

Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip -- including hospitals, residences, and houses of worship -- since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, on Oct. 7.

At least 11,078 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,506 children and 3,027 women.

The Israeli death toll is nearly 1,400, according to official figures.
