‘We lost patients I had been caring for’: Nasser nurse speaks of ‘terrifying’ attack
An Israeli air strike hit the surgical department at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, killing patients and medical staff. Nurse Mohammed Salman described patients trapped beneath rubble and colleagues injured, saying the team tried to evacuate those they could; the attack matters because Nasser is among the few hospitals still providing care.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said two missiles struck the upper floors of the hospital’s Yassin building at about 00:39 local time, killing six people, including surgeons, patients and a child. One missile did not detonate and remains inside the building. The UN says 20 of Gaza’s 37 hospitals are partially functional, while none are fully functional; Medical Aid for Palestine says Nasser has been targeted seven times.
In short
- An air strike hit Nasser Hospital’s surgical department.
- Six people were reported killed, including surgeons, patients and a child.
- One missile remains undetonated inside the building.
