In a harrowing development, Israeli soldiers reportedly issued a loudspeaker announcement on Saturday, instructing the immediate evacuation of Al Shifa hospital within the next hour. This shocking move was reported by an AFP journalist.
Al Shifa, Gaza’s largest hospital, has been under continuous Israeli attack since the first week of October. The Israeli military alleges that Hamas operates a base beneath Al Shifa, a claim vehemently denied by the militants.
Before the reported evacuation notice, the hospital housed over 2,300 patients and displaced Palestinians who sought shelter amidst the ongoing hostilities. Tragically, the situation has led to hundreds of reported deaths, exacerbated by power cuts and fuel shortages in the region.
Despite consistent calls from Israeli forces to evacuate, the hospital contends that such a move is challenging due to the substantial number of patients and Palestinians seeking refuge within its walls.
According to hospital director Mohammed Abu Salmiya, Israeli troops instructed him to ensure the evacuation of patients, wounded individuals, the displaced, and medical staff, urging them to move on foot towards the seafront. The unfolding events at Al Shifa Hospital underscore the escalating humanitarian crisis in the region.
