Red Crescent says received warning from Israel to evacuate Al-Quds Hospital
The Palestine Red Crescent on Friday launched an “urgent appeal” saying it had “received a threat from the occupying authorities to bombard Al-Quds Hospital.”
The Israeli warning “demanded” the hospital’s evacuation, which would affect more than 400 patients and 12,000 displaced people who have sought “safe haven,” the group said.
The group also said it has informed Israel that the patients in Al-Quds Hospital are in a very critical condition.
“We call upon the international community to take immediate and urgent action to prevent another massacre similar to what occurred at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital,” the statement added.
A rocket attack on the Al-Ahli hospital killed at least 500 people, Gaza’s Hamas authorities said.
The Al-Quds Hospital is in northern Gaza, which has borne the brunt of Israeli air raids since Hamas staged their biggest ever attacks on Israel on October 7.
