A spokesman for the Gaza health ministry says there is no objection to having babies evacuated from Al Shifa Hospital but there was no mechanism for an evacuation to take place, Reuters reports.

“We have no objection to having the babies moved to any hospital, in Egypt, the West Bank, or even to the occupation hospitals. What we care most is about the well-being and the lives of those babies,” Ashraf Al-Qidra said, speaking by telephone from the hospital.
