The team, consisting of public health experts, logistics officers, and security staff from various UN agencies, described the hospital as a “death zone” and the overall situation as “desperate.”
The World Health Organization (WHO) has described the situation at the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City as a “death zone”, a day after the forced evacuation ordered by the Israeli army, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
On Saturday morning, the invading Israeli military forced most of the patients, wounded, and medical staff out of the medical complex, demanding they walk on foot to the south of the Gaza Strip.
A joint United Nations humanitarian assessment team, led by WHO, accessed Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza on Saturday to evaluate the dire situation within the facility.
