The World Health Organisation (WHO) said Israel’s expanding evacuation orders are threatening efforts to restore functionality at the European Hospital in southern Khan Younis, Al Jazeera reports.

The facility, which has 650 inpatient beds, has been out of service since July 1, the agency said.

Of the 16 partially functional hospitals across the Gaza Strip, only 12 are partially accessible due “to insecurity or physical barriers, such as damage to both patient and ambulance entrances and surrounding roads”, WHO said.
