The Nasser Hospital in Gaza is no longer functioning after a raid by Israeli special forces.
In a statement posted on X, World Health Organization, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says WHO teams were not permitted to enter the hospital in southern Gaza oover the weekend to assess the conditions of the patients and critical medical needs.
While urging that access to the patients and hospital be facilitated for WHO staff, he also says scores of patients remain inside, and the cost of delays will be paid by their lives.

Nasser Hospital was previously the largest remaining functioning medical facility in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military claims they have credible evidence that Hamas had previously held hostages at the hospital, and that the bodies of deceased hostages may be at the hospital. However, it has not publicly released that evidence.
