A World Health Organization team is heading to Shifa hospital in Gaza City to evacuate the babies, according to Mohammed Zaqout, the Hamas-appointed director of hospitals in Gaza.

An Associated Press reporter saw a convoy of ambulances, escorted by UN vehicles, heading north toward Gaza City.

The WHO has said it hopes to evacuate patients to southern Gaza.

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.
