CloseThirty-one premature babies have been moved from al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City to a maternity hospital in southern Gaza.

The babies had to be "wrapped in foil to maintain their body temperatures [while] on the move - but their "health condition is good", a spokesperson for the Palestinian Red Crescent told the BBC.

Many of the 31 babies evacuated to the Emirati Hospital in Rafah on Sunday have "lost their parents in bombardments" by Israel, Nebal Farsakh said.

She said the surviving parents had been ordered to leave Gaza City - where al-Shifa hospital is located - before the babies' evacuation, and their current whereabouts are unknown.
