Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health on the air strikes on hospitals and ambulance convoys

Al-Qudra, the Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman, spoke shortly after Israel confirmed it had struck an ambulance in front of al-Shifa Hospital. Israel claimed the ambulance was being used by Hamas fighters. Palestinian health officials have said it was carrying patients to the south. “The Red Cross told us and informed us in a very frank way that Israel is rejecting [forms of] coordination for all the humanitarian missions,” al-Qudra said at a press conference outside al-Shifa. Nevertheless, with hospitals overrun with patients they are unable to treat and some patients approved to cross into Egypt for treatment, the spokesman said it was decided “to send those ambulance vehicles that would leave or depart from the medical complex from the south at 4pm”. “Before the vehicles departed, we have informed everyone through a press conference and we have also been in touch with … the Red Cross and also the United Nations agencies to inform them,” al-Qudra said.
