Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF) says Israeli forces continue to fire at people inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, adding that medical staff are afraid to move around inside the hospital for fear of getting shot.
For 20 days, the hospital has been under siege, with people trapped inside the building. In the past 48 hours, two people were killed by Israeli sniper fire and five others wounded, including a nurse.
“We are worried for the lives of MSF colleagues, medical staff and patients at Nasser hospital,” the organisation said.
“Medical facilities, their surroundings and staff should always be protected, and access to hospitals unhindered.”
