Palestinians including hundreds who left al-Shifa hospital are seen fleeing Gaza City on foot.
Gunfire was heard as people made their way and Israeli tanks and diggers were seen on the move.
The evacuees from the hospital included sick and injured people, some of them amputees, as well as people who had been sheltering at the hospital, an AFP reporter at the scene said.
About 120 seriously wounded and ill people have remained at the hospital.

..."Doctors, patients and displaced civilians left Gaza’s largest hospital Saturday amid competing claims over who had ordered the evacuation, which aid groups described as “complex and dangerous.” The head of al-Shifa Hospital said that Israeli forces gave people one hour to evacuate and that 120 patients and about five doctors remained inside the complex, which had housed thousands of displaced people. Conditions at the hospital were “very difficult,” with water and electricity cut off, he added. The Israeli military denied ordering an evacuation, instead saying it had agreed to assist evacuation efforts after requests from the hospital. Many evacuees are headed south, a region where Israeli forces have indicated their ground offensive may intensify soon.
An earlier version of this article, using a figure from Gaza Health Ministry Director Medhat Abbas, said 16,000 people had been killed. That number may have combined the confirmed dead and missing. This article has been corrected."
