At the Request of the Director of the Shifa Hospital: IDF Agrees to Expand and Assist Evacuation Effort of the Shifa Hospital

Following the request of the director of the Shifa Hospital, the IDF agrees to expand and assist evacuation effort of the Shifa Hospital

This morning, the IDF acceded to the request of the director of the Shifa Hospital to enable additional Gazans who were in the hospital, and would like to evacuate, to do so via the secure route.

At no point, did the IDF order the evacuation of patients or medical teams and in fact proposed that any request for medical evacuation will be facilitated by the IDF.

Medical personnel will remain in the hospital to support patients who are unable to evacuate.

Overnight (Friday), the IDF provided additional food, water, and humanitarian assistance to the hospital.
