The Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, ceased operations last week as a result of Israeli forces entering the hospital, but many patients remain in the hospital. On the 22nd local time, WHO** said that efforts were being made to transfer patients in Nasser Hospital.
Ayadir Saparbekov, WHO Team Leader on Health Emergencies: WHO has carried out three high-risk missions at Nasser Hospital so far, trying to transfer 51 patients to hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip, but there are still about 140 patients in the hospitals, and we will continue to work with local health authorities, such as the Palestine Red Crescent Society, to see if we can transfer more patients from Nasser Hospital to hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip, but this is a very difficult and high-risk task.
It is understood that Nasser Hospital, which was the largest hospital in operation in the Gaza Strip before the attack, has been a huge blow to the local health system, and the medical situation in various parts of the Gaza Strip is worrying.
A medical student from the Gaza Strip recently posted on social media that he photographed the hospital in Gaza City, where he described the hospital that was supposed to save lives has been reduced to a graveyard.
Medical student Izzy: Imagine what it's like to be surrounded by a cemetery. Now the Gaza Strip is such a cemetery, usually the hospital is used to save people, but in the Gaza Strip, it is used to bury people. This is the Shifa Hospital, it's not a dream, it's the reality, it's the reality you see with your own eyes.
