In its daily report, UN OCHA said that 190 patients and their companions and “a number of medical teams” were evacuated from al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. “The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that the evacuation lasted for almost 20 hours as the convoy was obstructed and subjected to inspection while passing through the [Israeli military] checkpoint that separates northern and southern Gaza, ‘hence putting the lives of the wounded and sick people in danger,’” OCHA added. Around 250 patients and staff remain at al-Shifa, which is no longer functional.
