Agence France-Presse quoted the director of hospitals in the Gaza Strip as saying on Sunday that the “forced evacuation” of two children’s hospitals in the Strip had brought patients “on the streets without medical care.”
The director of hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Muhammad Zaqout, said, “The forced evacuation of Al-Nasr and Al-Rantissi Children’s Hospitals took patients out onto the streets without medical care,” adding, “We completely lost contact with the medical staff at Al-Nasr and Al-Rantissi Children’s Hospitals.”
Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli army spoke of opening “a safe corridor that enables the civilian population to leave on foot or by ambulance from Al-Shifa, Al-Rantisi, and Nasser hospitals.”
Zaqout called for “saving children in nurseries because time is running out to save their lives.”
On Saturday, Israel announced that its soldiers would help evacuate newborn babies on Sunday.
