Medical and technical teams began evacuating patients from Gaza European Hospital in Khan Younis city, Anadolu Agency reports.

The Israeli army did not specifically order those in the hospital to leave, but medical teams started evacuating patients, injured people and some of the hospital’s medical equipment as the hospital is located in one of the areas where residents received text warnings from Israeli authorities to move to another location.

Medical sources told Anadolu that the medical teams moved several patients and injured people to Nasser Hospital in central Khan Younis.

They added that the hospital’s technical teams also moved some medical devices and equipment out of fear that it would be damaged if the Israeli army raids the hospital.

An Anadolu correspondent also reported that displaced people also dismantled their tents around the hospital and moved to other places upon receiving the Israeli army’s evacuation orders earlier in the day.
