Mustafa al-Kahlout, who heads the Al Nasr hospital and Al Rantisi Pediatric hospital in northern Gaza, told CNN that they were surrounded and asked for the Red Cross to assist with an evacuation.
“We do not know our fate.”His call comes after strikes were reported near at least two other hospitals in northern Gaza.
This included “two ambulances that were completely damaged,” the hospital statement said.
It was not immediately clear if PRCS was referring to the same ambulances mentioned in the hospital’s statement.
But the impact on healthcare facilities has raised concerns about the dire humanitarian situation for those remaining in northern Gaza.
