PRCS says ‘significant damage’ found at al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis
After the Israeli army’s withdrawal from the southern Gaza city, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says its teams have found “significant damage to the hospital and its medical equipment as well as Hebrew writings on the walls”.
Khan Younis had been subject to months of intense Israeli bombardments and fighting. Israeli troops had raided the hospital several times, killing people, surrounding it with tanks, and forcing doctors, patients and displaced families sheltering there to evacuate.
