Medical staff and patients at the Indonesian Hospital, in Beit Lahia, came under "heavy fire... preventing the arrival of patients, medical staff, and supplies", the ministry said on Sunday.

Israel's military said it had launched "extensive ground operations" over the past day, as part of a new offensive aimed at destroying Hamas which it has called "Operation Gideon's Chariots".

This week has also seen the deadliest wave of air strikes on Gaza in months.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it troops were fighting "terrorist infrastructure sites" in northern Gaza, including the area near to the Indonesian hospital.
