Consideration of evacuation of Al Shifa Hospital
Earlier this week, after the Israeli attacks, WHO and other UN officials visited Al Shifa Hospital, after which they appealed for its evacuation.

Gaza’s Alshifa hospital in focus these days
Israel vowed to eradicate Hamas in response to the October 7 attacks. 1,200 people died in Israel in Hamas attacks, while in retaliation, 12,300 people have been killed in Gaza so far, including 5,000 children. Gaza’s largest hospital, al-Shifa, has been in main focus in recent days. Israeli forces have alleged that Hamas uses it as a command center, while Hamas and the medical staff have denied these claims.
On Sunday, WHO said that when a U.N. assessment team arrived at the hospital, it found the site transformed into a “death zone”, with a mass grave at the entrance and about 300 patients left inside along with 25 health workers. “WHO and partners are developing plans for the immediate evacuation of remaining patients, staff and their families,” the organization said. Seeing the pain of the people of Gaza, he urged for an immediate ceasefire.
