Medical Complex in the city of Gaza after about 10 days of storming,
raiding and destroying large parts of it.<p>
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.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
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."</p><p>
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."</p><p>
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."</p><p>
On November 15, the IOF stormed Al-Shifa Complex after besieging it for
several days, during which the hospital was repeatedly shelled.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
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.</p> </div></div>
