Patients, staff, and displaced people have left Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, leaving behind a small crew to care for the remaining patients. Israeli forces have taken control of the hospital, searching for Hamas fighters and evidence of an alleged underground command center. Israel claims that Hamas has embedded itself in civilian areas and hospitals, justifying their military campaign. The military claims they were asked by the hospital director to help with the evacuation, but the hospital staff denies this. The exodus from the hospital comes as internet and phone service is restored to the Gaza Strip.
