At least 3 die at Nasser hospital during blackout

At least three patients died in the intensive care unit of the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis as a result of the power outage and restriction of oxygen supplies.

“We hold the Israeli occupation forces responsible for the lives of patients and staff, considering that the complex is now under their full control,” Gaza’s health ministry said in a statement.

“We appeal to all international institutions to quickly intervene to save patients and staff at Nasser Medical Complex before it is too late.”

Two women gave birth in “inhumane” conditions without electricity, water and heating, it added.
