Gaza's Health Ministry says 30 premature babies have been evacuated from the enclave's largest hospital, AP new agency is reporting.

Medhat Abbas, a spokesman for the ministry, said they were evacuated earlier in the day.

On Saturday, Israeli forces ordered doctors, patients and displaced people at al-Shifa Hospital to evacuate the medical compound, forcing some to leave by gunpoint, according to doctors and Palestinian officials.
