IDF Offers Incubators, Respirators to Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital
(Jerusalem Post) Sam Halpern - The IDF is coordinating the transfer of incubators for newborns from an Israeli hospital to al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, the IDF said Tuesday as it conducts an ongoing effort to provide humanitarian assistance to the hospital. "The IDF remains committed to upholding its moral and professional responsibilities to distinguish between civilians and Hamas terrorists. The IDF is willing to work with any reliable mediating party to ensure the transfer of the incubators," an IDF spokesperson said. In a phone call released by the IDF, an officer speaking with the director-general of al-Shifa Hospital offers incubators as well as helping to evacuate children and patients from the facility. IDF spokesperson Shani Sasson, standing in front of the incubators that are to be sent to al-Shifa, said, "extensive efforts are underway to ensure that these incubators... can reach babies in Gaza without delay. Our war is against Hamas, and not the people of Gaza."
