According to Al Jazeera correspondents, Israeli forces requested the evacuation of Al-Shifa Hospital within one hour. While there are minutes left until the Israeli deadline expires; Field press sources record that there is a great state of “panic and fear” among patients, medical staff, and their families.
There are not enough ambulances
Doctors also say that it would be impossible to evacuate all these people within an hour, especially since they do not have ambulances to transport patients and premature babies to the south.
They believe that this decision is impossible to make because there are no ambulances to transport such a large number of patients to southern Gaza. Israel did not provide a solution for people to transport sick people, premature babies, or displaced families to the south, and did not provide any means of transportation or fuel for ambulances or cars.
When a similar warning was issued recently at Al-Quds Hospital, Dr. Bashar Murad repeatedly asked Israel to provide an ambulance, transportation, or at least fuel to transport patients by bus, but Israel did not respond to this request and asked them to take the patients on foot.
The patients’ condition is critical
Eventually, doctors had to evacuate patients from hospital beds and push them to the other side of the streets. On the other hand, the situation in Al-Shifa Hospital is much more difficult due to the presence of a larger number of patients. According to medical sources, most of them are in critical condition.
