The Palestinian Red Crescent said on Sunday it has received warnings from Israeli authorities to immediately evacuate Al-Quds hospital in the Gaza Strip.
"Since this morning, there has been raids 50 metres away from the hospital," it added in a statement on Facebook.
An Israeli military spokesman declined to comment when asked about the Palestinian Red Crescent statement during a media briefing.
The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said that reports the Palestinian Red Crescent had received warnings from Israeli authorities to immediately evacuate al-Quds hospital in the Gaza Strip were "deeply concerning".
"The Palestinian Red Crescent report of evacuation threats to Al-Quds hospital in Gaza is deeply concerning," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on social media platform X.
"We reiterate - it's impossible to evacuate hospitals full of patients without endangering their lives."
