KHAN YOUNIS, June 12, 2025 (WAFA) — The Israeli occupation military has issued warnings to Palestinian civilians and displaced persons in and around the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, demanding they evacuate the area and move toward Al-Mawasi and other locations.
Eyewitnesses report that civilians, including journalists, began to evacuate the vicinity amidst rising tension and widespread panic over fears of a possible Israeli airstrike and new massacres. This development comes amid a near-total blackout of communications and internet services in the Gaza Strip.
According to medical sources, Israeli occupation forces directly contacted people in the area surrounding the Nasser Medical Complex, declaring it a “military operations zone” and ordering evacuation. This has raised concerns that the complex may be deliberately targeted and pushed out of service, especially as surrounding residential blocks are also being threatened.
Nasser Medical Complex is the only facility in southern Gaza that provides specialized services, including dialysis, neonatal intensive care, surgical operations, and critical care. Its shutdown would endanger the lives of hundreds of patients and trigger a major humanitarian disaster.
Local sources warned that after effectively disabling medical infrastructure in northern Gaza, the Israeli military is now systematically targeting the southern health system as well. There is growing alarm that this could lead to a complete collapse of healthcare services in the region.
