Conditions at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis are 'inhumane'

The Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis is functioning with only 10 per cent of its personnel and the conditions are "inhumane", said the Palestinian health ministry on Thursday. 

The hospital has been besieged by Israel for several days and is currently running low on anaesthetics, painkillers and other basic medical supplies.

There is also a severe shortage of food and fuel for the electricity supply, which is expected to run out within five days, the health ministry said.
