MSF staff 'can feel the ground shaking' inside major hospital in southern Gaza
The international medical charity Doctors Without Borders, also known by its French acronym MSF, warned Tuesday that its staff at Nasser Hospital, the largest still functioning in the war-torn Gaza Strip, "report they can feel the ground shaking."
"There is a sense of panic among staff, patients and displaced people sheltering inside the building," MSF wrote in a series of posts on X, the social media platform formerly known as X.
Nasser Hospital is the only major hospital still accessible in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, which has been under siege by Israeli forces amid the ongoing war with Hamas, Gaza's militant rulers.
"All the hospital wards at Nasser are full and there is no way to evacuate medical staff and patients safely due to exit routes from the facility being blocked," MSF wrote.
The organization said its "staff fear the fighting, shelling and bombing will get worse and closer to Nasser hospital."
"There has been heavy ongoing bombing mainly in the southern and northern parts of Khan Younis since yesterday evening," MSF added.
