5 Patients Killed as Israel Attacks Nasser Hospital, Forcing Thousands onto Streets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, Israel's attack on Khan Younis's Nasser Hospital has killed at
least five patients after electricity and oxygen supplies were cut off.
This is a hospital volunteer describing the forced evacuation ahead of
Israel's incursion.

Hakeem Salem Hussein Baraka: "Ninety-nine percent of the people in
Nasser Hospital evacuated. There are nearly 20 members of the medical
staff still there. There is tension still. There is no protection or
safety. Quadcopters are everywhere. Even ferocious dogs which have
monitoring cameras around their necks are in the hospital in an
aggressive way."
