Panicked Gaza hospital staff evacuate patients after missile strike, video shows

(Reuters) -Israeli missiles struck the emergency department of a northern Gaza hospital on Tuesday, medics said, prompting panicked medical staff to rush patients on hospital beds and stretchers to the rubble-strewn street outside.

Video obtained by Reuters showed medics in blue scrubs wheeling patients out of the hospital compound in Jabalia, shouting in fear and looking back as if expecting further strikes.



One man was filmed cradling what looked to be a newborn baby wrapped in blue cloth. An elderly man was bumped on a wheeled stretcher along shattered streets towards an ambulance. Others from the hospital, most of them women and some in scrubs or white coats, ran away in fear.

"As you can see, (this is) the evacuation of the wounded and the team from inside the medical complex. The medical team has left under bombardment, fire and tanks from the Kamal Adwan medical complex," said Palestinian emergency worker Fares Afana.
