Hundreds of people fled Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital on foot Saturday, an AFP journalist at the scene saw, after the hospital director said the Israeli army ordered the hospital's evacuation.
The Hamas-run health ministry said in a statement 120 wounded were still at the facility, along with an unspecified number of premature babies. Earlier, Hamas health officials told AFP that "450 wounded and patients with chronic illnesses" could not be moved and remained at the hospital, along with medical staff to care for them.
