Deep dives
Evacuation of Alshifa Hospital
Israel ordered the evacuation of Alshifa Hospital, Gaza's largest hospital, before its soldiers took over completely. Around 7,000 people, including premature babies, injured patients, and displaced families, were inside the hospital. Evacuees were forced to walk in a single file, carrying injured infants, sick children, and wounded elderly individuals. Despite efforts to maintain the premature babies' body temperatures, one of them died and the Israeli forces refused to let others leave. The evacuees, including wheelchair-bound and bedridden individuals, were relocated to southern Gaza.
