Israeli forces trap patients and staff inside Nasser hospital in Khan Younis : MSF

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said Israeli forces had fired on people inside the Nasser Medical facility in Khan Younis, with concerns that medical staff are unable to move inside the hospital due to fears of getting shot. 

"For the last 20 days the hospital had been under siege. Footage posted online showed that Israeli forces had fired upon trying to leave the facility," said MSF. 

"Two people were killed, five others injured, including one nurse who was severely wounded. Medical staff are afraid to move within and around the hospital due to fear of being shot.

"Israeli forces are continuing operations in the immediate vicinity of Nasser hospital. Heavy fighting is trapping people inside the building and preventing anyone from entering to access care."
