LONDON, May 16 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The Gaza European Hospital, the last facility providing cancer treatment in the Gaza Strip, is now out of service after an Israeli strike, international medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on Thursday, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
In a statement, MSF said the hospital, located in Khan Younis, ceased operations after being struck by Israeli forces on 13 May.
“This was one of the last remaining lifelines in Gaza’s shattered healthcare system,” MSF wrote on social media platform X, noting that the MSF-supported Nasser Hospital is now the only functioning public hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
It added that Nasser Hospital was also hit on the same day, a few hours before the Gaza European Hospital -- for the second time in less than two months.
“Repeated strikes on healthcare facilities are yet more examples of the Israeli authorities making the Strip unliveable,” MSF warned.
Since March 2, Israel has kept Gaza’s border crossings closed to food, medical supplies and humanitarian aid, deepening what rights groups and international agencies describe as a severe humanitarian crisis.
