Occupation forces block evacuation of remaining patients from Al-Shifa Hospital

GAZA: As many as 107 patients remain trapped in dire conditions within the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, as Israeli occupation forces continue their siege of the complex for the second consecutive week, according to medical sources.

The trapped patients have no access to basic necessities such as water, electricity, and medicine, according to the sources.

Among the 107 patients currently stranded in Al-Shifa, 30 are in critical condition and require specialized care. Additionally, there are 60 medical staff members who remain alongside the patients.

Despite efforts by international organizations to evacuate these individuals, the occupation forces have adamantly blocked all attempts, putting the lives of these patients in imminent danger, the sources added.
