Wounded Palestinians forced to flee al-Shifa 'are going to die'

Some of the patients forced out of al-Shifa hospital won't make it to another medical facility, a spokesperson for the Palestinian media office in Gaza said. 

“All are going to die simply because they require swift medical attention,” Ismail al-Thawabta told Al Jazeera. 

He said that people inside the hospital were forced to leave at gunpoint, and described it as "another war crime".

In a statement earlier this morning, the Israeli military denied ordering the evacuation of al-Shifa. It claimed instead that the director of the hospital asked for a "secure axis" to allow those sheltering in the facility to flee. 

Doctors and health officials at al-Shifa have strongly denied Israel's version of events.
