Ashraf Al-Qudra, the spokesman for the health ministry in the Gaza Strip, said that the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis has completely run out of food, anaesthetics, and painkillers as a result of Israel’s siege imposed on it for the fifth day, Al Jazeera reports.

“There are 150 health personnel, 350 patients, and hundreds of displaced families in the Nasser Medical Complex in catastrophic conditions of starvation, targeting, and lack of treatment,” Al-Qudra said.
