The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) withdrew on Friday from Al-Shifa
Medical Complex in the city of Gaza after about 10 days of storming,
raiding and destroying large parts of it.

Local sources reported that the IOF withdrew from Al-Shifa Medical Complex
after bombing several hospital facilities, after failing to prove its
allegation about the presence of tunnels and Hamas offices in the hospital.
The bombing was intended to bury any evidence of the occupation's
criminality and lies.

The sources explained that the IOF blew up the hospital's power generators
and medical equipment, including X-ray machines, in addition to oxygen
pumps, before withdrawing from it.

A medical source in the complex told Anadolu Agency that about 180 patients
and 7 medical staff members are still present in Al-Shifa Hospital.

He said that "the patients and the wounded are unable to move due to their
serious injuries and need to be transported by special ambulances."

The source pointed out that "about 19 of the wounded and patients are at
risk of losing their lives due to the severity of their health conditions."

He said that "the wounded and medical staff in the hospital have no food
and only limited amounts of water," appealing to the relevant authorities
to "quickly work on evacuating them from Al-Shifa Hospital as soon as
possible."

On November 15, the IOF stormed Al-Shifa Complex after besieging it for
several days, during which the hospital was repeatedly shelled.

After several days, the IOF demanded those present in the hospital to
evacuate on foot, but some of the wounded and patients were unable to leave
due to their conditions, and some doctors and hospital staff members had to
stay with them.

During the past few days, the IOF carried out extensive digging, searching,
and violent combing operations inside the hospital's sections, buildings,
gardens, and parking lot, resulting in the martyrdom of a number of
displaced persons and wounded inside, according to the Palestinian Ministry
of Health in Gaza.

The withdrawal operation comes hours after the temporary humanitarian
ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian factions went into effect at 07:00
AM local time today.

The humanitarian ceasefire agreement includes the release of 50 Israeli
prisoners from Gaza in exchange for the release of 150 Palestinians from
Israeli prisons, as well as the entry of hundreds of trucks loaded with
humanitarian, relief, medical, and fuel aid into the Gaza Strip.
