ALBAWABA - Packs of Israeli forces storm the southern courtyard of the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli tanks targeted Gazan activist Saleh Al-Jaafrawi, journalist Mohamed Salama, and doctors as they were trying to evacuate Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.

According to Ashraf Al-Qudra, spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, thousands of displaced people, as well as families of medical workers and patients who can relocate, have been forced to leave the Nasser Medical Complex, putting them in grave danger.

Displaced people hiding inside the Nasser Medical Complex are concerned about sniper assaults, as the Israelis continue to control parts of the city.

Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), a non-governmental organization, has urged the IOF to prioritize the safety and well-being of medical professionals, patients, and displaced people at the Nasser Medical Complex. They emphasized the vital need to provide secure exit routes for anyone trying to leave the property.
