Along with the dedicated medical area, the IDF has brought in medical equipment and on-site medical teams to monitor the well-being of the evacuated Gazans.

The IDF began establishing a center to provide medical treatment and humanitarian aid to the wounded Gazans and medical teams in al-Shifa Hospital who have been evacuated due to the ongoing operation, the IDF announced on Saturday.

Along with the dedicated medical area, the IDF has brought in medical equipment and on-site medical teams to monitor the well-being of the evacuated Gazans.

This comes as part of the IDF's ongoing efforts to continue eliminating terrorists in the hospital while avoiding harm to civilians, patients, medical teams, and medical equipment, the military added.
