Al Jazeera’s Youmna Elseyed spoke to a doctor inside al-Shifa Hospital, who told them that the Israeli army has given everyone at al-Shifa Hospital, just one hour to evacuate through al-Rashid street.

“It’s not the usual street or route that people evacuating to the south are supposed to take, they usually take Salah al-Din street, but they were asked to evacuate in one hour.

“The doctor is also saying it is impossible to evacuate all these people in one hour, especially since they do not have any ambulances to transfer the patients and premature babies to the south. This is what he called “a crisis”, to ask them to evacuate in one hour.”
