How the Israeli army besieged and attacked Nasser hospital

In Khan Younis, on the night of 14 to 15 February 2024, Nasser hospital, once the largest hospital in southern Gaza, was shelled by Israeli forces. The orthopaedic department was hit, killing one person and injuring eight others. After several weeks of intense fighting with Palestinian armed groups in Khan Younis, Israeli forces stormed the facility, which until then had been under siege. Teams from Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) working at the hospital were first-hand witnesses. Their accounts, corroborated by other sources, retrace the events leading up to the night of 14-15 February and the forced evacuation of the hospital. The evidence at our disposal points to deliberate and repeated attacks by the Israeli forces against Nasser hospital, its patients and its medical staff. In November 2023, MSF documented similar attacks on Al-Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals, and on Al-Nasr children’s hospital in the north of Gaza.
