Nasser Hospital in Gaza Accuses MSF of Providing Incorrect Information
The Nasser Hospital complex in southern Gaza has condemned Doctors Without Borders (MSF) for halting its activities, accusing the organization of providing incorrect information by claiming the presence of armed individuals in the hospital.
Al Jazeera reported on Sunday, February 15, that MSF suspended its non-emergency services due to security concerns, stating that the sighting of armed individuals in parts of the hospital threatened the safety of staff and patients.
Nasser Hospital dismissed these claims as "incorrect and baseless," arguing that such statements bolster narratives previously used to justify attacks on medical facilities.
Hospital management emphasized that the accusations undermine the facility's protected legal status as it provides services to over one million civilians, predictably exposing it to danger.
Nasser Hospital has demanded that MSF "immediately" retract its claims regarding weapons or armed individuals and reaffirm its commitment to medical neutrality based on verified information.
