CNN —Israeli military forces have withdrawn from Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, after a 14-day siege that witnesses and Gazan authorities say left the medical facility largely destroyed.
“There are bodies buried in the hospital yards.”Images from the area showed widespread destruction with charred and pockmarked buildings inside the complex.
More than 30 wounded people were transported from Al-Shifa to the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital east of Gaza City, Bassal said.
Last week, residents of the area around Al-Shifa told CNN there was heavy firing in the vicinity.
Second raidThis raid was the second of its kind at the hospital, with the IDF first raiding Al-Shifa in November.
