Face-recognition cameras set up at Nasser hospital gate

The Israeli military ordered around 300 medical staff, 450 patients and hundreds of displaced Palestinians to leave Nasser hospital, reports Al Jazeera journalist Hani Mahmoud in Rafah, southern Gaza.

Israeli forces have destroyed most exits, leaving only one gate open, which people are being forced through. 

"There are tanks and armoured vehicles stationed in front of that gate. There are face-recognition cameras installed at the eastern gate of the hospital," said Mahmoud.

"From past experience, setting up face-recognition cameras and hi-tech equipment means raids and mass arrests are soon going to happen," he added.
