The Health Ministry announced the continuation of patient reduction at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem due to ongoing fires. Additionally, the ministry is preparing for the possibility of fire approaching the hospital, planning to relocate the most complex patients to fire-protected floors while other patients will be evacuated from the hospital according to a designated plan. As part of preventive measures, several institutions in the area were evacuated earlier, including: Retorno Youth Institution, Protea Hills, Jerusalem Mental Health Center Eitanim, as well as four patients with special needs who were evacuated from their homes.
