These efforts include: the transfer of 33 patients, accompanying personnel, and hospital staff from Kamal Adwan Hospital to other functioning hospitals in Gaza, 68,650 liters of fuel delivered for operating hospitals, and the coordination of 800 blood transfusion units

In light of IDF operations in the Jabaliya area targeting terrorist infrastructure and operatives embedded inside civilian areas, the IDF, through COGAT’s Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration (CLA), continues to act in line with international law to facilitate and ease humanitarian aid to Gaza’s residents, particularly in the medical field.

In recent days, 33 patients, medical staff, and accompanying personnel were safely transferred from Kamal Adwan Hospital to functioning hospitals within Gaza. This was coordinated by the Gaza CLA and the 162nd Division in coordination with the Red Cross, using seven ambulances escorted by three UN vehicles. This effort was part of the IDF’s cooperation with the international community and the health authorities to safely evacuate hospitals in the area to ensure the safety of civilians, while maintaining the humanitarian evacuation routes and medical centers providing treatment to Gaza’s residents.

In addition, a fuel tanker carrying 68,650 liters of fuel was delivered to hospitals in northern Gaza to ensure the continuation of essential medical services. As part of the medical response in the northern Gaza area, 800 blood transfusion units donated by UNICEF were delivered to hospitals in the region. This support occurred alongside the continuation of military operations against Hamas in the area.

The IDF, in coordination with COGAT, remains committed to facilitating humanitarian aid, especially in the medical field, while continuing its efforts to dismantle Hamas’ military and governance infrastructure embedded inside civilian areas.
