Nasser Hospital facing a 'humanitarian catastrophe' as Israeli lays siege to thousands

The spokesman for Gaza’s health ministry, Ashraf al-Qudra, says Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis is enduring a “humanitarian catastrophe” as a result of the Israeli siege and targeted attacks.

“[There are] 300 medical staff, 450 wounded, and 10,000 displaced people in the Nasser Medical Complex being killed and starved,” he said.

The besieged hospital is suffering from an acute shortage of anaesthesia and intensive care medication as well as surgical supplies, added Qudra.
