The Palestine Red Crescent Society announced the evacuation of about 8,000 displaced people from Al Amal Hospital and the society’s headquarters in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, after the Israeli occupation forces besieged them for two weeks.

The association said that these displaced people lived "an atmosphere of terror and panic" throughout the siege period as a result of continued bombing and shooting.

It added in a statement that the Israeli forces summoned the member of the association’s executive office, the general director of Al-Amal Hospital, Haider Al-Qudra, and the hospital’s administrative director, Maher Atallah, and took them to an unknown destination.

The Red Crescent indicated that only 40 displaced elderly people remained in Al Amal Hospital, in addition to about 80 sick and wounded people, and 100 administrative and medical staff.

The death toll from the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip also rose to “27,478 people and 66,835 injured” since October 7, 2023.

This came in a statement issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, in which it presented the latest statistics on “the 122nd day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.”

It explained that "the Israel committed 13 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 113 people and injuring 205 during the past 24 hours."

It pointed out that "there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and Israeli forces prevents ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them."
