“Yesterday night, the IDF coordinated the transfer of diesel fuel for urgent medical use at Shifa Hospital.

Earlier today, it was reported that a senior Coordinal and Liaison Administration or CLA officer had spoke a number of times with the director of Shifa Hospital, presenting a number of possible supply routes to it. IDF forces opened up and secured a path allowing the population to move to and from Shifa, Rantisi, and Nasser Hospitals on foot and via ambulances. The Hamas terror organization operates terrorist infrastructures in civilian structures, and these include Rantisi and Shifa Hospitals.
