Today, Friday, the Ministry of Health in the Hamas government announced the death of five Palestinians due to a lack of oxygen due to the stoppage of electrical generators, the day after the Israeli occupation forces stormed Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip.

It said in a statement: “We fear that six more patients in intensive care and three in the children’s nursery will die at any moment, and we hold the Israel responsible for the lives of patients and staff, given that the complex is under its complete control.”

For its part, the World Health Organization announced that it is trying to deliver fuel to Nasser Hospital, after the Israeli operation, to ensure the continued provision of life-saving services, and its spokesman, Tarik Jašarević said: “There are still patients and seriously injured people inside the hospital.”

The Israeli army surrounded the hospital for about a week, causing the quantities of food, water and supplies to dwindle inside, while the fire killed many people, according to health officials in Gaza.

Yesterday, Thursday, the army stormed the hospital in an operation that killed a patient and injured six inside, and searched its medical facilities. The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated that "during the inspection, Israeli forces ordered more than 460 employees, patients and their relatives to move to an old building in the complex that was not equipped to treat patients, knowing that they were facing harsh conditions due to an acute shortage of food, water, and infant formula." The Ministry of Health appealed to UN institutions to intervene quickly to save them.
