The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) says over 5,000 liters of fuel were delivered to northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital on Friday to support the medical center’s essential operations.

COGAT also says that 87 patients, caregivers, and others were transferred from Kamal Adwan to other hospitals in the Gaza Strip, in an effort coordinated with the World Health Organization.

COGAT says 16 more patients and caregivers were transferred from Jabalia’s Al-Awda Hospital in coordination with the Red Cross.

“These transfers were carried out following requests from the IDF and health system officials to safely evacuate hospitals in the area, ensuring the safety of residents while maintaining humanitarian corridors and active medical centers in the Gaza Strip,” COGAT says in a statement.

The military denies reports in Palestinian media that it had ordered the complete evacuation of Kamal Adwan overnight.
