Israeli army interrogating al-Shifa medical staff and patients

Under the cover of heavy gunfire and tank shells, the Israeli military has raided al-Shifa Hospital’s main buildings – the emergency department, the specialised surgeries department and the maternity ward as well.

Israeli soldiers are inside those buildings carrying out search operations room by room, corridor by corridor, interrogating doctors and medical staff individually.

The pretext, as the Israeli military claimed, is that al-Shifa Hospital is being used by Hamas’s leadership or members to carry out their operations – but so far there has been no concrete evidence to back these claims.

The Israeli army has set up electronic checkpoints at multiple doors of the main buildings of the hospital and they are calling people inside, whether they are the medical team, patients, the injured – they have to go through these electronic gates where they can be officially interrogated by the Israeli military.

There is concern about the 3,000 people inside the hospital, among them is the most vulnerable … there is no guarantee that they will be safe.
