Al-Shifa hospital has received a phone call telling them a building of 
the hospital will be bombed.

At 16:30, the hospital received a call from an unlisted number, stating 
a building needed to be evacuated immediately.

The building is being used for overflow patients, and is directly across 
the road from the main hospital building. It is part of the hospital 
site, but building work has yet to be completed.

The hospital is now in the process of evacuating all staff and patients 
inside.

"I'd like to say that Israel's threats to bomb Gaza's largest hospital 
have reached a new low, but in light of it's relentless atrocities and 
civilian massacres over the last 25 days, it's hardly unexpected." 
Stated Joe Catron, U.S. International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activist 
now in al-Shifa hospital.

Since July 25th, international volunteers from countries including 
Spain, Sweden, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, New 
Zealand, Australia, and Venezuela have begun a constant protective 
presence in various locations at the al-Shifa Hospital.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, as of July 29th, there have 
been 34 attacks against Gazan medical facilities since this latest 
Israeli military assault began 25 days ago.
