Displaced Palestinians gathered earlier in the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital (French)

A clip circulated on social media platforms showed naked Palestinians who were released by the Israeli occupation army from Al-Shifa Hospital and its surroundings, and forced them to flee to areas south of the Gaza Strip.

In the clip, which was taken by a Palestinian from the window of his house, a number of Palestinians appeared walking with difficulty on a sandy street, heading towards the southern areas of the Gaza Strip.

The clip also shows naked Palestinians dragging a man in a wheelchair with difficulty.

Rami Abdo, a Palestinian academic and human rights activist, told Anadolu: “The Israeli occupation committed horrific massacres and atrocities in Al-Shifa Hospital and its surroundings.”

Abdo added: "The Israeli army illegally used Palestinians as human shields, forced them to take off their clothes and forced them to displace."

He continued: "The army killed women, men and children, which constitutes a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms."

Abdo pointed out that the Israeli forces burned homes in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital, and set fire to departments inside the hospital itself.

The Israeli army continues to storm Al-Shifa Hospital, which housed thousands of patients and displaced people, and is carrying out a massive campaign of arrests and killings among the displaced and bombing the homes surrounding the hospital, leaving hundreds dead and wounded.


This is the second time that Israeli forces have stormed the hospital since the beginning of the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023. They stormed it on November 16, after besieging it for a week, during which its courtyards, parts of its buildings, medical equipment, and the electricity generator were destroyed.


Since October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, a humanitarian catastrophe and massive infrastructure destruction, which led to Tel Aviv being brought before the International Court of Justice on charges of “genocide.”
