Patients 'stranded in ambulances' after being forced out of hospital by Israeli troops

Wounded Palestinians have been stranded in ambulances for over 20 hours after being forced out of the al-Amal hospital in Khan Younis by Israeli troops, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said. 

On Sunday evening, Israeli soldiers ejected medical teams and the wounded from the hospital. They later forced them to return but the hospital gate was locked, according to the PRCS.

"The teams remained waiting on the street until now," the charity group said. 

It added that two of its team members were shot and wounded by Israeli forces during the forced evacuation.
