Israel prevents rescue missions in Gaza’s Nasser Hospital

According to the announcement of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Israeli occupying forces (IOF) are preventing rescue operations in the besieged Nasser Hospital; A hospital whose condition is “indescribable”.

The United Nations Health Agency announced on social media that its staff successfully transferred 32 critically ill patients, including two children, from this hospital on Sunday and Monday. The transferred patients were transferred to different field hospitals in the region.

Since the siege of the hospital last week, the Israeli occupying forces have forbidden access to this complex.

According to the World Health Organization, there are still around 130 patients and injured, as well as at least 15 doctors and nurses in this institution, and the conditions inside it may increase the spread of the disease.

The World Health Organization is concerned about the safety and well-being of the patients and health workers who remain in the hospital and warns that the continuation of the siege and the ban on the entry of the rescue team to this hospital will lead to more deaths.
