"We have been working for more than 23 months in an emergency situation so we are all exhausted, Saqr said in a voice note sent from the complex on Friday. Some of us are still in Israeli jails and others were killed inside the hospital and outside and others had to leave [the] Gaza Strip to escape death, so our numbers are not like before the war."
"There appears little chance of any new ceasefire after Israel's strike on Qatar last week. The attack targeted the leadership of Hamas, who were meeting in the Gulf state to consider new terms for a deal set out by Donald Trump."
Medical staff at Gaza's largest remaining hospital warn that an intensified Israeli offensive and mass displacement from the north would overwhelm capacity. The Nasser medical complex near Khan Younis reports severe staffing shortages, exhausted personnel, and dwindling medicine and fuel supplies. Many health workers are absent due to detention, death, or crossing the Strip. A recent Israeli strike on Qatar, targeting Hamas leadership, makes a new ceasefire seem unlikely. Gaza health authorities stated they will not evacuate two major hospitals and that some medical teams and WHO workers intend to stay despite evacuation orders and extreme conditions.
