Israel accuses Hamas of abusing hospitals in Gaza
“Due to the closure of the hospital, vital services such as neurosurgery, cardiac treatment and cancer treatment have been eliminated, which are not offered elsewhere in Gaza,” wrote the WHO boss. Hospitals would have to be protected. “They must never be militarized or attacked”.
The European hospital was “one of the last lifeline in the destroyed health system of the Gaza Strip”, wrote the organization doctors without borders. The Nasser Hospital is now the last functional clinic in Chan Junis.
