This morning the IDF responded to the request of the director of Shifa Hospital to allow Gazan citizens who were sheltering in the hospital and who wish to evacuate from Shifa Hospital towards the humanitarian crossing in the Gaza Strip via a secure axis.
It should be emphasized that at no point did the IDF ask to evacuate patients or medical teams and even suggested that whenever there is a request to coordinate a medical evacuation, we will work to facilitate it and transfer the patients to other hospitals.
Medical teams will remain in the hospital for the benefit of patients who are unwilling or unable to evacuate.
Also, during the night the IDF continued to provide food, water and humanitarian aid to the hospital.
