Israel-Hamas war rages as outcry grows over Gaza crisis

Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version of the article providing a summary of the situation at Al-Shifa hospital:

Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza has become the center of a dispute between doctors and the Israeli military. Several doctors reported being instructed to leave the hospital by the Israeli military, but the military denies giving such an order.

Dr. Munir Al-Bursh explained that the hospital director received a call instructing the evacuation of the entire hospital with the requirement to display white flags or handkerchiefs while leaving. This action was described as humiliating.

The Israeli military, however, insists that no order was issued for the evacuation of patients or medical teams from the hospital.

They stated that the medical personnel will remain to support patients who are unable to evacuate. Despite these conflicting reports,

Dr. Bursh mentioned that 120 patients and five doctors remained in the hospital to coordinate the remaining evacuations.

The situation at Al-Shifa hospital is further complicated by Israel’s targeted operation against Hamas, which was allegedly taking place inside the hospital complex.

Israel claims that Hamas is using the hospital for military purposes and has built a command center beneath it. These claims have been consistently denied by both Hamas and hospital officials, although they haven’t been verified by CNN.

The resulting conflict has caused the hospital, originally a civilian sanctuary, to become a battlefield with heavy fighting in and around the complex.

These events are unfolding against the backdrop of a rapidly declining humanitarian situation. Israel is under increasing international pressure to substantiate its claims about Hamas’ involvement in the hospital to justify its military actions, which could otherwise be viewed as potential violations of international humanitarian law.
