Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Israeli military issued new forced displacement threats on Monday for several areas in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, posing a direct threat to putting the Nasser Medical Complex out of service. The military ordered these areas to immediately flee, warning that it “will operate with great force”.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Tuesday Israel “is deliberately undermining and stifling the health system through evacuations of areas housing hospitals and healthcare centres”. “The recent evacuations in Khan Younis Governorate pose a direct threat to putting the Nasser Medical Complex out of service,” the Ministry added. It said the Nasser Medical Complex is the only hospital in the southern Gaza Strip that offers specialised services that are threatened with disruption. “Dozens of patients and wounded are in intensive care, operating rooms, and emergency rooms, as well as children in nursery wards, facing certain death if the complex is out of service,” the Ministry said. On Tuesday, Marwan al-Hams, the director of field hospitals at Gaza’s Health Ministry, said the Nasser Medical Complex cannot handle the influx of dozens of injured people, adding all of the wounded who arrived at the hospital had upper body injuries. According to the Ministry, 54,510 people have been killed and 124,901 others injured in Israeli attacks since the start of the ongoing genocide in October 2023. On March 18, Israel violated the January ceasefire and resumed the assault on Gaza, killing at least 4,240 and injuring 12,860 others. Israel has carried out an assault on Gaza’s healthcare sector, targeting hospitals and other medical facilities since the offensive began. The World Health Organization (WHO) documented 29 attacks on healthcare in Gaza between May 2 and 22. “According to WHO, at least 94 percent of hospitals in the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed,” the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.
