As "Israel's" war on Gaza hospitals continues, the Ministry of Health urgently appeals to international institutions to intervene and rescue patients and staff at Nasser Medical Complex.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that four patients in the intensive care unit of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis lost their lives due to an "Israel"-induced power outage and depleted oxygen supplies.

In a statement, Gaza’s Health Ministry said, “We hold the Israeli occupation forces responsible for the lives of patients and staff, considering that the complex is now under their full control.”

“We appeal to all international institutions to quickly intervene to save patients and staff at Nasser Medical Complex before it is too late,” it added.

The Ministry also expressed its fear of 6 patients in the intensive care and 3 others in the pediatric ward losing their lives at any moment following the depletion of oxygen supply. 

There's been a staggering lack of media coverage regarding the horrific and heinous incident where the IOF sent a detained man into Nasser hospital to instruct evacuations, only to later execute him.

Additionally, two Palestinian women underwent childbirth in conditions described as "inhumane" with no electricity, water, and heating, the Ministry highlighted.

"Israel" has been conducting airstrikes on hospitals across Gaza since the beginning of its genocidal war, aiming at making the territory uninhabitable.

Earlier on Thursday, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that patients and medics were enduring "dire and frightening conditions" at a major hospital raided by Israeli occupation forces (IOF).

Hundreds of doctors and patients remained inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, after the IOF reportedly entered the premises opening fire in its medical departments and urging the injured to evacuate.

The Ministry reported that the complex was seeing a "catastrophic and alarming situation" from a lack of medical resources.

Subsequently, the Government Media Office in Gaza condemned the incursion into the hospital, labeling it a "blatant and fully-fledged war crime against international law and all global treaties." It held the occupation, the international community, and Washington fully responsible for the safety of numerous medical staff, patients, and displaced individuals.

In response, the spokesperson for the Gaza Ministry of Health, Ashraf al-Qudra, clarified that invading Israeli forces compelled the management of the complex to relocate 95 healthcare personnel, 11 family members, 191 patients, and 165 accompanying displaced individuals to the old Nasser building. These individuals are enduring difficult and alarming conditions without access to food or baby formula, amid a severe shortage of water.

'Israel' continues its massacres in the Gaza Strip for the 133rd day

For the 133rd consecutive day, the Israeli occupation persists in its aggression against the Gaza Strip. On Friday at dawn, it initiated a series of airstrikes targeting various areas of the Strip, resulting in numerous casualties and injuries. This comes despite the International Court of Justice's decision, which demanded that 'Israel' take measures to prevent genocide in the region.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli occupation aircraft targeted a house in the Shaboura refugee camp in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli airstrike on a house in al-Nasr neighborhood, east of Rafah, resulted in the martyrdom of at least seven citizens, with several others sustaining injuries.

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced, on Thursday, that the number of martyred Palestinians on the 132nd day of the Israeli genocidal war in Gaza has risen to 28,663, with 68,395 wounded since October 7.
