  • ‘Israel’ tightens siege on Nasser Medical Complex, targets vicinity

The Israeli occupation is tightening its siege on the Nasser Medical Complex and is heavily targeting its vicinity, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, confirmed earlier, highlighting the grave risk threatening thousands of people inside the health facility.

Al-Qudra stressed that the Israeli occupation is putting the lives of 300 medical personnel, 450 injured Palestinians, and 10,000 displaced people, who lack any source of nutrition, in immediate danger, amid a severe shortage of anesthetic materials, intensive care, and surgical procedures.

The Health Ministry spokesperson warned that the electrical generators at the Medical Complex would stop functioning in 4 days due to the lack of fuel, revealing that the Israeli occupation army is obstructing the movement of ambulances.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported the death of 6 Palestinians who were guarding an aid truck, after the occupation bombed north of the city of Rafah, south of the Strip.

On his part, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent confirmed earlier that two Palestinians were killed by Israeli occupation forces gunfire targeting the Hayat UNRWA School in Khan Younis.

Moreover, the Palestine Red Crescent Society confirmed that the occupation forces detained, yesterday, Monday, its volunteers Tamer Shaheen and Hamdan Abu Khater and took them to an unknown destination while they were passing through the military checkpoint within the corridor designated for those displaced from Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis.

In a related context, the PRCS announced, in a brief statement, that it had “only one functional ambulance left in northern Gaza,” announcing the loss of contact with its crew.

Earlier, the Society revealed that some 8,000 displaced Palestinians were evacuated from Al-Amal Hospital and the PRCS's headquarters in Khan Younis. 

"Today, approximately 8,000 displaced individuals were evacuated from Al-Amal Hospital and the PRCS’s headquarters in #KhanYunis. Only forty elderly displaced individuals and around 80 patients and wounded, and a hundred administrative and medical staff remain," the PRCS posted on X.

This comes as the total number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 7 has risen to 27,585, in addition to 66,978 injuries.

Between the 122nd and the 123rd day of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation committed 12 massacres against families in the Strip, killing 107 and injuring 143 Palestinians.

Tragically, there are still thousands of bodies trapped underneath the rubble and stranded on the desolate streets. The desperate cries for help of dozens each day go unanswered as the continuous bombardment and destruction of ambulances and rescue equipment in the early days of the way have obstructed the lifesaving arrival of ambulances and civil defense teams.
