Fighting rages around Gaza’s remaining main hospital, Al-Nasser, WHO Says

Fighting is intensifying around Gaza’s largest hospital still in service and it faces operational collapse if more supplies cannot reach it, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.

Most hospitals in Gaza have already ceased functioning due to bombardments and supply shortages after more than three months of an Israeli offensive prompted by Hamas’ deadly attacks on Oct. 7. The Al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, central Gaza, is only minimally functional and is surrounded by Israeli military, the United Nations has said.

“The situation around Nasser has only gotten worse - the shooting, fighting around, the difficulty of access for people to reach Nasser or the difficulty for leaving,” WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier told a Geneva briefing.
