As the health system deteriorates, Palestinian medics in Gaza say they have formed field medical points to help reach the front lines, as treating the wounded in Khan Younis has become increasingly difficult amid street battles and artillery strikes.
“There’s a lot of injuries among the displaced who were in the industrial quarter and some schools,” says Nassim Hassan, the head of the Emergency Unit at Nasser Hospital, adding that “many of the injured left loaded on carts, tuk-tuks, cars or even on foot.”
Thomas White, the agency’s director of Gaza Affairs, says in a video that UNRWA had been forced to move its operations out of Khan Younis to the west of the city.
“We’ve lost a health clinic, major shelters – facilities that were supporting the people of Khan Younis,” says White.
