Palestinian Minister of Health Mai al-Kaila said on Sunday that Israeli forces were "not evacuating people", but rather "forcing wounded patients onto the streets, leaving them to face inevitable death".
According to the minister, this amounts to "expulsion under the threat of arms". She also noted that there was a "catastrophe unfolding" in all of Gaza's hospitals, with patients dying without being able to be treated.
Some of the worst-affected are those with kidney failure, who have not been able to undergo dialysis.
The minister also said that there are 3,000 cancer patients at the Rantisi and Turkish hospitals who face imminent death, while pregnant women were also in danger.
"All pregnant women, especially those with high-risk pregnancies, are now in imminent danger as they cannot find anyone to provide them with medical care and services in Gaza. Every woman about to give birth will find no medical assistance," she said.
