CAIRO (Sputnik) - Israel has demanded the evacuation of three hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip and surrounded one of them, the enclave's Health Ministry said.
"The occupation demands that Kamal Adwan Hospital, Indonesian Hospital and Al-Awda Hospital evacuate patients and medical workers, otherwise they will suffer the fate of Al-Shifa Hospital - destruction, murder and arrests," the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Israel military surrounded Kamal Adwan Hospital and opened fire on the hospital administration office, the statement added. The ministry noted that the hospital would be forced to stop working within a few hours due to a fuel shortage.
