The Al Amal Hospital in Khan Younis, located in southern Gaza, has been declared 'out of service' after the Israeli military compelled medical staff to evacuate the facility, as reported by the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) on Tuesday.
According to the PRCS statement, the occupation forces not only forced the hospital teams to evacuate but also sealed off its entrances with earthen barriers. At least 27 PRCS staff members and six patients were evacuated from the hospital with assistance from the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs. Additionally, the bodies of two individuals who had tragically lost their lives inside the hospital were part of the evacuation process.
