Official UN Document: Hospitals which Israel says to evacuate don't have the
 
staff to function 
 
Dr. Aaron Lerner 30 October 2023
 
 
"...On 28 and 29 October, the vicinities of Shifa and Al Quds hospitals in
 
Gaza city and of the Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza have been
 
reportedly bombarded, causing damage. This followed renewed calls by the
 
Israeli military to evacuate these facilities immediately. All ten hospitals
 
still operational in Gaza city and northern Gaza have received repeated
 
evacuation orders in recent days. Thousands of patients and medical staff,
 
as well as about 117,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs), are staying in
 
these facilities.
 
 
...The ongoing hostilities have displaced most of the medical professionals
 
in Gaza, forcing the hospitals to operate with less than one-third of their
 
normal staffing levels, according to MoH in Gaza."
