GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Palestinian Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra affirmed that Israeli troops are forcing 95 medics, 191 patients and 165 displaced people into an old building at the medical center under “harsh conditions” without food or milk for the children.
“The Nasser Medical Complex is witnessing a catastrophic, worrying situation because of the dwindling medical capacity as fuel is set to run out in the next 24 hours,” al-Qudra said.
Such a situation directly threatens the lives of patients, including six on respirators in intensive care and three children in incubators,” al-Qudra added.
Earlier Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip after demolishing its southern wall.
The Ministry of Health affirmed that the Israeli army stormed the maternity building at the Nasser Medical Complex, as it continued a raid on southern Gaza’s largest health facility.
The ministry added that the military destroyed two ambulances inside the compound.
At first light on this morning, the IOF also forcibly relocated the remaining displaced individuals from the Nasser Medical Complex.
The Ministry went on to say that the Israeli occupation ordered the complex administration to transfer all patients—including those in critical care and the nursery—as well as six patients who were on respiration, to the former Nasser building.
Of the 36 hospitals in Gaza, 14 are partially operational due to the Israeli attacks, with nine located in the south and six in the north.
