Gazans move south as evacuation from Al-Shifa begins after Israeli army's 1-hour deadline

GAZA, PALESTINE - NOVEMBER 18: Patients, medical staff, and civilians seeking refuge at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza began evacuating from the hospital on Saturday following a one-hour deadline imposed by the Israeli army, according to the facility's director. "But about 120 patients who are unable to walk will remain in the hospital due to their injuries, while five medical staff will take care of them," Muhammad Abu Salmiya told Anadolu. He added that Al-Shifa Hospital is coordinating with the UN and that these patients would also be evacuated later once the necessary arrangements are complete. For its part, the Israeli army claimed in a statement that it "did not request the evacuation of patients and medical staff," but that it "responded to the request of the hospital director to allow the displaced Gazans to head to the south through a secured road."(Footage by Mohammed Alaloul/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
