WHO: Patients, medics flee south Gaza hospital after evacuation orders

Gaza's European Hospital in Khan Younis is virtually empty with staff and patients fleeing the facility after the Israeli army ordered residents in the surrounding areas to evacuate, a World Health Official spokesperson said on Tuesday.

"The hospital staff and the patients decided to already evacuate themselves," said Rik Peeperkorn, WHO Representative for the occupied Palestinian territories, adding that just three patients remained.

"We plea the European Gaza hospital will be spared will be non-damaged," he told the UN press briefing, speaking by video link from Jerusalem.
