An official from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA] expressed concern over the state of Nasser Hospital in the city of Khan Younis in the southern besieged Gaza, TRT World reports.

“The conditions are appalling. There are dead bodies in the corridors. Patients are in a desperate situation,” said Jonathan Whittall, senior humanitarian affairs officer at OCHA in the occupied Palestinian territory.

“This has become a place of death, not a place of healing,” he added.
