Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah in the Gaza Strip, says medical staff at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah have received an evacuation order from Israeli forces.
He said although the situation in the area has been “dire”, until today, the Israeli forces had not placed a call to the hospital’s director.
Medics based at the hospital fear that an attack on the hospital would mean a “complete collapse” of the limited medical system in Rafah, he added.
