Gaza - Al Aqsa hospital under threat: MSF opens a field hospital in Deir Al Balah

Jerusalem, 27 August - Following an evacuation order issued by Israeli forces and an explosion approximately 250 meters from the MSF-supported Al Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al Balah, Central Gaza, almost 650 patients fled the hospital fearing for their lives. Consequently, and in coordination with the Ministry of Health, our teams have prematurely opened a field hospital and started receiving the hospital’s first patients amid a severe lack of supplies and resources. Field hospitals are not a solution, but a last resort in response to Israel’s dismantling of the health care system. MSF calls on all warring parties to respect and protect the last remaining hospitals in Gaza.
