Palestine Red Crescent says all its medical points in Gaza City out of service


The Palestinian Red Crescent Society, on Tuesday, said all its medical points in Gaza City went out of service under the Israeli evacuation orders to many areas of the city, Anadolu Agency reports.

In a statement, it said all its medical points and emergency clinics in the Gaza Governorate came out of service “due to the Israeli Occupation’s forcible evacuation measures in various areas of the (Gaza) governorate where these medical points and clinics are located”.

Early on Tuesday, the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City also said they were forced by the Israeli army to close it after its vicinity came under Israeli fire.

The hospital management said all patients and displaced people were forced to leave the hospital, putting them at risk amid Israeli attacks.

The Israeli army carried out a series of airstrikes in the vicinity of the hospital making it impossible for the people to reach it again.

On Monday, the Israeli army ordered the residents in several neighbourhoods across Gaza City to flee their areas as the Israeli army raided several areas in eastern and southern Gaza City.
