Nader al-Farrani's nephew Azeddine is in a coma after a missile strike, highlighting the precarious situation at the Nasser Medical Complex, Gaza's largest remaining hospital. This facility is on the brink of closure due to evacuation orders amid military operations, isolating it from the community. Medical staff and families express concerns that such measures will lead to more deaths. The hospital, already struggling with limited resources, is crucial for patients like Azeddine, as alternative options are nearly non-existent in the region.
'We can't even think about moving him. He's on a ventilator. If they force us to leave, it's a death sentence,' says Al-Farrani.
The Nasser Medical Complex, a vital hospital in southern Gaza, is one of the few partially functioning of the Strip's 36 hospitals.
Medical staff, humanitarian organizations, and patients' families warn that these increasingly frequent evacuation orders and road closures are isolating the hospital from the population.
But this medical center is now surrounded by so-called red zones, areas where Israel has ordered all residents to leave.
