Patients flee Gaza hospital after latest evacuation order from Israel

The Israeli military had told people the day before to "evacuate immediately" a part of Deir el-Balah city because it planned to "act with force against Hamas and terrorist groups" there. Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital sits in the middle of the area described in the warning, setting in motion a rapid exodus even though the Israeli military said medical facilities would not be affected by its operations. Speaking to AFP on Sunday from her hospital bed outside the facility, Tamam al-Raei said she did not know where to seek safety.
