Overview

• The European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza's last facility offering cancer and heart treatments, was rendered non-functional after a May 13 Israeli airstrike.
• The closure eliminates access to specialized medical services like neurosurgery, cardiac care, and oncology, which are unavailable elsewhere in Gaza.
• The World Health Organization evacuated remaining staff despite nearby attacks during the operation, calling for the protection of medical facilities under international law.
• The Nasser Hospital is now the only functioning clinic in Gaza but has also been targeted, heightening fears of further healthcare collapse.
• Israel claims the strike targeted Hamas operations beneath the hospital, a charge international organizations have not independently verified.
