The Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis has established a field hospital, increasing its capacity, aimed at receiving a greater number of patients and injured individuals among various departments, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

The Director of the Nursing Department in the Nasser Hospital, Bassam Moslem, said that the field hospital will reduce overcrowding in the Nasser Medical Complex's departments, especially after hundreds of wounded people and patients were transferred from Gaza City and northern areas to Khan Younis.

Holding 50 beds, the hospital has been supplied with the necessary medical equipment and medicine which will allow it to receive patients and wounded people, according to Moslem.

At the same time, Moslem said that the Nasser Medical Complex is facing a catastrophic situation since the hospital is working above its capacity to receive and treat injured individuals in the Gaza Strip.

In fact, medical staff ran out of hospital beds and found themselves treating patients in hallways and on the departments' floors.

On its part, the Palestinian Red Crescent said that it has received 1,132 aid trucks through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

Hospitals all over the Gaza Strip are operating under extreme circumstances, as they have been targeted by Israeli warplanes and bombardment throughout the occupation's war on the Gaza Strip.

Hospitals in Gaza City and the north were even raided by Israeli occupation forces, who alleged that the medical institutions hold members of the Palestinian Resistance. Al-Rantisi Hospital and al-Shifa Medical Center are two hospitals, that were raided in Gaza City, under false pretexts, constituting blatant war crimes.

Earlier on November 7, an Israeli airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex killed at least eight people and injured dozens, on Tuesday, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

This comes after Israeli authorities forcibly displaced Gazans to southern areas in the Strip, claiming they would be safe there. However, a substantial number of bombs and shells have targeted residential blocks and civilian infrastructure, such as the Nasser Medical Complex, confirming the occupation's sheer brutality.

The Nasser Medical Complex includes a pediatrics section, which was hit directly and indirectly by Israeli bombs.

The medical sector has also persevered through shortages of medical supplies, workers, and basic necessities such as fuel used to generate electricity. Although the temporary truce has allowed for the entry of the largest quantities of aid and supplies into the Strip, medical staff in Gaza will have to brace themselves for another round of confrontations, which will see an extension of "Israel's" crimes against Palestinian civilians.
