GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) withdrew from inside the Nasser Medical Complex in the southern Gaza Strip but continued to besiege the building, the Palestinian Health Ministry said on Thursday.
“Israeli occupation forces are preventing movement to and from the Nasser Medical Complex,” the ministry added.
Adding that sewage water had flooded the hospital’s first floors, it said: “The occupation still prevents the repair of water tanks, sewage network, and the operation of the electric generator in the hospital.”
It noted that medical staff had buried 13 patients killed in Nasser Hospital due to the generators and oxygen supply being shut down as a result of the Israeli attack and siege.
On Al-Amal Hospital, the ministry said Israeli forces “continue to besiege it and target it repeatedly.”
It warned that “occupation forces are endangering the lives of medical teams and patients in the hospital due to the lack of water, food, oxygen, and treatment.”
For weeks, the IOF has escalated its military campaign against the healthcare system in Khan Yunis, forcing thousands of displaced Palestinians to leave Al-Amal Hospital and Nasser Medical Complex in recent days.
