We cannot go anywhere. Instead, we have to stay at home and be safeCairo, Egypt (ANTARA News) - Around 28 Indonesian activists who took part in the construction of the Indonesian Hospital at the Gaza Strip, Palestine, have survived Israeli`s onslaught.
"We cannot go anywhere. Instead, we have to stay at home and be safe," Abdillah Onim, team leader of the Indonesian activists, said on Thursday.
He explained that some of the Indonesian activists from Mer-C Indonesia are staying at the Indonesian Hospital.
"Israeli`s bomb attack occurred along the Gaza Strip, so it is impossible for us to move from here," he said.
According to him, the construction of the Indonesian Hospital has been temporarily put on hold due to the threatening situation.
"The construction would have continued if the bomb attack could have been stopped," he said.
Onim said that construction had begun on the second level and most of the construction had been completed.
"We request the community to pray for us because attacks may still happen," he added.
On Wednesday evening (November 14), a bomb hit a target near the Indonesian Hospital which was only 100 meters away, killing two people and injuring several others, he explained.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian government condemned the Israeli air strikes along the Gaza Strip.
Egypt has opened the entrance of the Rafah border line to help in food distribution and to provide access to medical facilities.
