Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has suspended some operations at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, due to security breaches. The suspension, which occurred in January but was disclosed recently, was prompted by reports of armed men roaming the hospital, intimidating staff and patients, and suspected weapons movement. MSF stated that these actions posed serious security threats, compromising the hospital's neutrality as a civilian space. Nasser Hospital, one of Gaza's few functioning hospitals, has been treating hundreds of patients and war-wounded daily. MSF has expressed its concerns to relevant authorities, emphasizing that hospitals must remain neutral.
