The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said on Friday that Israeli forces threatened to bomb the Al-Quds Hospital in the Gaza Strip which is sheltering thousands of displaced women and children.
As many as “12000 displaced people including 70% children and women are in imminent danger after Israeli forces threatened to bomb Al-Quds Hospital and demanded evacuation” the humanitarian organization said on X.
“This place could turn to ashes if those threats are carried out” it warned.
“Is there a world power capable of stopping the threats of the Israeli occupation army to bomb hospitals with innocent civilians inside?” the PRCS said.
It called on the international community to “act urgently” to avert “another catastrophe like Al-Ahli Hospital.”
At least 471 people were killed and many others injured in the Israeli airstrike on Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital earlier this week according to health officials in Gaza.
