On Sunday Israel asked the doctors to evacuate the hospital while strikes continue nearby.

"Many people in the north are seeking shelter in UNRWA schools, they're seeking shelter in hospitals," said White, adding that there are hundreds and hundreds of patients that can't be moved."

Many people in the north - not only patients - also "can't move because they physically do not have the transportation, they do not have themeans", White said.
