Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reduced noncritical operations at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, on January 20, citing security concerns. MSF reported incidents involving armed men, intimidation, arrests, and suspected weapons on hospital grounds, posing threats to staff and patients. The organization formally expressed its concerns to authorities, emphasizing the need for hospitals to remain neutral and free from military activity. Nasser Hospital refuted MSF's claims, calling them "false" and "misleading," while acknowledging isolated unlawful actions may have occurred due to the ongoing emergency. Hospital officials stated that a civilian police presence had been arranged to help safeguard patients, staff and infrastructure. MSF is calling on all armed groups, Hamas, and Israeli forces to respect medical facilities and ensure the protection of civilians.
