Palestinian Minister of Health Mai Al-Kaila has called on international institutions to intervene and transfer premature and wounded babies from Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital to hospitals in the occupied West Bank or Egypt, Al Jazeera reports.

Al-Kaila said Israeli authorities are wreaking havoc in Al-Shifa and have turned the hospital complex into military barracks, as they work to evacuate those inside at gunpoint.

“There is no hospital in the Gaza Strip that has the capacity to accommodate the wounded and premature babies,” the minister said.
