OCHA, the UN’s humanitarian agency, is warning of shrinking access to critical health services in Gaza as Israel issues additional evacuation orders and intensifies its military operations in the coastal enclave.
In its latest update, OCHA said the Indonesian field hospital in Rafah is now out of service after Doctors Without Borders (MSF) withdrew from the facility on Monday following Israeli attacks.
This leaves only eight field hospitals operational in southern Gaza.
Israeli attacks since October 7 have put 23 hospitals in the Gaza Strip out of service, according to OCHA’s figures.
Only 13 are left partially functioning – three in north Gaza, three in Gaza City, two in Deir el-Balah, three in Khan Younis and two in Rafah.
