Claire Manera, emergency coordinator for Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Gaza, has told Al Jazeera from a field hospital in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah city that Israeli air strikes around Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis are intensifying every day, “getting closer and closer”.
She recently left the medical facility following Israeli forced displacement orders.
“Just on Monday, there was an air strike which damaged the ceilings of the OT [Operation Theatre] and IPD [In-Patient Department] sections, plus they shattered the windows of our In-Patient Department where some of the critical patients are staying,” she said. “So, it is impossible for us to continue working in these conditions.”
Manera said she was concerned “every day” that Israel could directly target the medical facility “because now everything can be struck at any moment without warning”.
“We are seeing this day by day. It is not just the tents of the displaced people and the camps and the schools of people who are running for their lives, but it is still also medical facilities that are being attacked,” she said.
“Nasser [Hospital] has been attacked at least three or four times since I arrived in the last six weeks and we just don’t know if it will continue to be safe there.”
