After a siege on northern Gaza’s al-Awda Hospital for two weeks, Israeli troops have forced its staff and patients to evacuate it, the hospital’s director Dr Mohammed Salha told Al Jazeera.

It was the last functioning hospital in the north, he said.

“There is no one providing any medical services now,” Salha said.

“[We] evacuated the injured people and the patients with very difficult conditions,” he added.

Cases are being referred to Al-Shifa Hospital — a journey difficult for many due to constant Israeli bombing, the director said.

“So a lot of people are injured in the streets. A lot of people are killed, and they are murdered in the streets. Nobody can pick them up,” said Salha.
