PRCS says evacuation of al-Quds hospital reportedly underway

Nebal Farsakh, spokeswoman for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), says the situation inside the al-Quds hospital is “dire, catastrophic”.

Farsakh said some 300 people, including medical staff, patients, wounded people, and their families, are currently in the process of evacuating to the south.

Those injured will be treated in one of the few operating hospitals there, she told Al Jazeera.

They have been “besieged, unable to go out of the hospital and no one can even get inside the hospital,” Farsakh said.

For days, those inside al-Quds hospital had no access to food or running water, she added.
