Nahariya Hospital Evacuated Due to Smoke from Nearby Fire

Nahariya Hospital was evacuated on the evening of the incident after smoke from a fire in an adjacent building infiltrated the hospital premises. The fire did not originate inside the hospital but in a nearby structure, causing smoke to enter the hospital corridors and stairwells. This forced patients and medical staff to evacuate and gather in the hospital courtyard for safety.

Firefighters from the Ziv and Nahariya stations responded promptly, identifying the fire source in an open area next to the hospital's inpatient department. They are actively working to extinguish the fire and conducting thorough searches across all floors to ensure no one is trapped inside. Additionally, efforts are underway to clear the smoke from the affected areas within the hospital.

As of the latest reports, no injuries have been reported. The evacuation was precautionary, and all patients and staff remain accounted for outside the building. Fire and rescue services continue to manage the situation to restore safety and normal operations at the hospital.
