Israel says Al-Quds Hospital will be bombed: Palestinian Red Crescent

The Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS) has said that it received “serious threats” from the Israeli forces to “immediately evacuate the Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza Strip as it is going to be bombed.”

Since this morning, there have been bombs dropping 50 metres from the hospital, a statement on X said.

“❌Urgent: @PRCS has just received serious threats from the occupation authorities to immediately #evacuate Al-Quds Hospital in the #Gaza Strip, as it is going to be #bombarded. Since this morning, there has been raids 50 meters away from the hospital,” read the post on X.

The hospital is located in the Tel al-Hawa area of the Gaza Strip.

The World Health Organisation head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said reports the Red Crescent received warnings from the Israeli authorities to evacuate al-Quds Hospital were “deeply concerning.”

“We reiterate – it’s impossible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without endangering their lives,” Ghebreyesus said on X.

“Under International Humanitarian Law, healthcare must always be protected,” he added.
