Nasser Hospital Complex Addresses MSF Allegations
The Nasser Hospital Complex has issued a statement regarding the recent decision by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to suspend its noncritical operations at the facility. The hospital has refuted MSF's claims of security threats involving armed personnel at the site.
On Sat, Feb 14, 2026, MSF announced the suspension of its noncritical medical operations at Nasser Hospital, citing security breaches as the reason behind the decision. The organization reported an increase in security concerns following the ceasefire brokered between Israel and Hamas in Oct 2025.
The Nasser Hospital Complex has challenged the claims made by MSF, stating that such allegations are unfounded and potentially harmful to the hospital's status as a protected civilian medical facility. The hospital emphasized its commitment to transparency and compliance with international humanitarian law.
The hospital has also requested that MSF retract these allegations and reaffirm its commitment to medical neutrality based on verified facts.

The hospital, located in Khan Younis, operates under challenging conditions due to ongoing conflict and has been subjected to various threats. It maintains its operations in compliance with domestic and international standards, including the employment of civilian police for security purposes.
A group, Doctors Against Genocide, has also criticized MSF's allegations, claiming these statements place healthcare workers and patients at risk. MSF's operational decisions are further influenced by recent directives from Israel requiring international organizations to comply with new operational requirements.
The situation reflects the complexities faced by healthcare providers operating in conflict zones, emphasizing the need for verified information and adherence to international regulations to ensure the safety and neutrality of medical facilities.
