Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza’s last lifeline, must be preserved

Ordering hospitals to refuse new patients and making it harder for people to reach places of care has been a pattern by the Israeli forces throughout this war, aimed at closing the hospitals. Nasser is the last remaining referral hospital in the south of Gaza, a vital lifeline for people in need, and its full functionality must be immediately restored and preserved. Israeli authorities must protect Nasser Hospital and guarantee full and unimpeded access to patients and medical staff alike, to avoid more deaths.
