Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, #Gaza, is struggling to stay operational amid relentless strain and lack of supplies - WHO and partners assessed during a mission today.
Yesterday, the hospital received over 300 injured people, reportedly linked to two incidents near non-UN militarized food distribution sites where 75 people died, including 11 children.
590 patients are currently hospitalized - almost double Nasser’s capacity. and 51 patients are intubated.
A WHO-supported tent, meant for pediatric and surgical care, now serves as an overcrowded trauma ward with 100 beds—despite being built for 88.
The hospital is unable to increase its capacity due to lack of ventilators, monitors, beds and staff.
Nasser is located within the evacuation zone. Many health workers cannot reach the hospital due to fear for safety or lack of fuel for transportation.
