The Israeli army partially withdrew its vehicles from Gaza City's Al-Shifa Medical Complex while retaining soldiers inside, as reported by a source at the hospital on Wednesday. The anonymous source cited security concerns for not disclosing their name and revealed that despite a temporary cessation of gunfire, a cautious calm prevailed with remaining troops unable to leave due to ongoing Israeli fire at any movement.
There are reports of the Israeli army arresting displaced individuals, patients, and their families within the complex, transporting them to undisclosed locations. The source highlighted that Israeli shelling targeted a section of the complex, making it difficult to determine the exact impact due to restricted movement.
Approximately 700 patients and wounded individuals, 650 medical staff, and 1,000 displaced civilians are estimated to be inside the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, amplifying the potential humanitarian crisis. Earlier in the day, a medical source within the hospital raised alarms, stating that medical services had completely halted, heightening concerns about the imminent threat of death for the wounded and patients.
This unfolding situation follows the Israeli army's incursion into the Al-Shifa Medical Complex on Wednesday morning after days of besieging the facility. Notably, the complex is a refuge for civilians displaced by ongoing Israeli airstrikes in the region.
