Burnt tents, abandoned stretchers, rubble and – everywhere – devastation . This is what remains of Al Ali hospital, also known as the Baptist Hospital, in the north of Gaza City, after Israeli forces bombed the facility during the night . All this while doctors rushed to evacuate the sick and wounded according to orders given yesterday evening. Al Jazeera reports. The Israeli army issued new evacuation orders yesterday evening for residents of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the city, and Khan Younis , in the south, after intercepting three rockets coming from the Strip. The hospital suffered “ serious damage ,” according to Al Jazeera, including in the emergency room.

Videos circulating on social media show violent explosions and the scene that followed. As Al Jazeera recalls, just a couple of weeks ago, the Israeli army targeted the Khan Younis hospital. Previously, it destroyed the Al Shifa medical complex. It also put the Kamal Adwan hospital out of service. And it also attacked the Indonesian hospital in the north several times.

“We are witnessing an attack by Israeli forces on a medical sector that is struggling to continue providing the minimum level of services due to the total humanitarian aid blockade imposed by Israel since March 2 and the devastating attacks of March 18,” doctors denounced to the Qatari broadcaster.
