The WHO managed to access the medical centre in Gaza City yesterday after it was raided by Israeli forces last week. Israel alleged Hamas used al-Shifa as a command centre, identifying it as a key target in its military operation despite international outcry.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released video footage yesterday of what it said was a 55-metre tunnel 10 metres underground, which it had uncovered underneath a shed in the hospital complex.
It also released footage it said showed one Thai and one Nepalese hostage, dated from the 7 October Hamas attacks, that appeared to be from Shifa's CCTV system. The identities of the two men were not given.
About 2,500 people, among them many sick and injured, including amputees, walked south from the area of al-Shifa on Saturday after being told to leave, the hospital director said, picking their way through ruined streets and rotting corpses.
Yesterday, the WHO and Palestinian Red Crescent started evacuating those who were unable to flee on foot, including 32 babies in a critical condition, trauma patients with infected wounds owing to a lack of antibiotics, and 29 patients with serious spinal injuries.
The babies were taken to the south of Gaza in preparation for transfer to a hospital in Egypt, the Palestinian Red Crescent said, through the Palestinian territory's only connection to the outside world.
