7 April: As the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from #KhanYunis, the extent of the massacres and atrocities they committed became clearer, including their assaults against civilians in residential neighborhoods and inside hospitals, which were taken out of service, notably al-Amal Hospital, whose courtyards turned into a cemetery for martyred patients, displaced people, and medical staff.
A Palestinian-American doctor, Dr. Thaer Ahmad, walked out of the meeting with President Biden for the Ramadan iftar, before it was over
WHO and partners went to Khan Younis yesterday to assess the health facilities there. The team described the destruction as “disproportionate to anything one can imagine”. No building or road is intact, there is only rubble and dirt. Hostilities in the vicinity of a WHO warehouse have left it destroyed.
Attacks and hostilities have left Nasser Medical Complex, Al-Amal and Al-Khair hospitals non-functional. These facilities have no oxygen supply, water, electricity or sewage system.
The team saw that the Nasser Medical Complex warehouse – which supplies many hospitals in the south – was burning, and severely damaged. It is estimated that fire has destroyed the majority of supplies, including a substantial amount of essential medicines and medical and trauma supplies provided by WHO and partners. Until recently, Nasser was the backbone of the health system in the south of #Gaza.
Al-Amal was one of the few hospitals offering services to mothers and children. Now they are mostly rubble. Hospital assets and equipment have been destroyed.

Specialized medical devices, CT scanners, oxygen plants, generators and solar panels need to be assessed to determine if they can still function, once spare parts and engineering services become available.
The team also visited Jordanian Field Hospital, which is minimally operational and receiving a limited number of patients, mostly walk-ins, and a few trauma patients.
The once robust health system in Gaza is broken. WHO and partners stand ready to support reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts, but we need a ceasefire. Nothing else can bring a lasting and humane outcome.
