The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) have released a statement announcing that the PRCS al-Amal hospital in Khan Younis has been “taken out of service”.
It adds that the hospital “stopped working completely after the occupation forces forced the hospital’s crews and the wounded to evacuate it and closed its entrances with dirt barriers”.
PRCS expresses its disappointment that al-Amal hospital was taken out of service after the international community failed to provide the necessary protection for its staff, patients, and displaced persons.
The hospital was besieged for more than 40 days and shelled several times before the occupation forces resumed its siege again and forced everyone in it to leave, leaving the hospital destroyed.
