The hospital is now out of service, leaving many Palestinians in the north of Gaza without access to critical healthcare services. MSF has called for an immediate and sustained ceasefire to allow for the evacuation of remaining patients and the provision of necessary care.

The Office has called on the international community to condemn these violations of international law and ensure the establishment of field hospitals to support the remaining healthcare infrastructure in Gaza.
