Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry says 30 premature babies have been evacuated from Shifa Hospital and will be transferred to hospitals in Egypt.
Earlier it was reported that a World Health Organization team had been dispatched to facilitate the transfer.
The IDF, which has taken control of the hospital, has said it was working to evacuate as many patients as possible from the compound, which it says has been used by Hamas as a command center.
