Medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF, has warned that movement restrictions and displacement orders by Israeli forces are pushing Gaza’s Nasser Hospital to the brink of collapse.
In a statement on Wednesday, MSF said Israeli directives preventing hospitals from admitting new patients and obstructing civilian access to care have formed a pattern throughout the conflict.

Nasser, the last functioning referral hospital in southern Gaza, is described as a critical lifeline for the war-torn region. MSF has called for its immediate and full restoration.
Jose Mas, head of MSF’s emergency operations, said disabling the hospital would amount to “a death sentence” for the critically ill, severely wounded, and pregnant women needing urgent care.
Israel has faced sustained accusations of systematically targeting Gaza’s health infrastructure since the conflict began. Tel Aviv has not responded to the latest claims.
