<p>Al-Shifa hospital has received a phone call telling them a
building of the hospital will be bombed.</p>
<p>At 16:30, the hospital received a call from an unlisted number,
stating a building needed to be evacuated immediately.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The hospital is now in the process of evacuating all staff and
patients inside.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
