Patients and displaced Palestinians are fleeing Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, the last functioning medical facility in central Gaza, following the latest evacuation orders.
The Israeli army on Sunday demanded Palestinians evacuate an area east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, previously classified as a “humanitarian area”.
Later, the Gaza Government Media Office confirmed that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital “is not within the red zone defined by the occupation [Israel]”.
Israel has attacked several Gaza hospitals since October 7.
“To all residents and displaced people in the Deir al-Balah neighbourhood in Block 128 within the marked area on the map, forces will operate aggressively … in your area,” Avichay Adraee, an army spokesperson, said on X, designating it a “dangerous combat area”.
