Gaza hospital used by militants

[HappyFace2025]

The international humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders has publicly acknowledged that armed individuals — many of them masked — were present inside the large compound of Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, citing intimidation of patients, arbitrary arrests, and suspected weapons movement as reasons for halting some of its work there.
The admission, buried in a rarely referenced FAQ page on the group’s website published last month, lends factual support to claims long asserted by Israeli authorities about the use of medical facilities by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which is French for Doctors Without Borders, said it has suspended all “non-critical medical operations” at Nasser Hospital as of Jan. 20, 2026, citing “concerns regarding the management of the structure, the safeguarding of its neutrality, and security breaches.”
MSF’s admission was first reported by independent analyst Salo Aizenberg.
In describing those “security breaches,” MSF stated that patients and its own personnel observed “armed men, some masked, in different areas of the large hospital compound … not in areas where MSF has activities.” It added that since the most recent ceasefire in Gaza, teams have reported a “pattern of unacceptable acts,” including the presence of armed men, intimidation, arbitrary arrests of patients, and “a recent situation of suspicion of movement of weapons.” The group said such conditions posed “serious security threats to our teams and patients.”
The hospital in Khan Younis — one of Gaza’s largest and, until recently, few functioning referral centers in the densely populated territory — has been a flashpoint in the Israel-Hamas war since early 2024. After intense battles and an Israeli military operation that searched for hostages inside the complex, the hospital was rendered non-functional and later reopened.

There is no 'gotcha' moment. Why should there be? Just a report from MSF, which may or may not prove of interest to posters on this board.

Yes, anyone with a brain would have known this and understood the hysteria as a distraction technique. Importantly, has anyone told the Sky news presenters yet?

Calla Walsh, an American who a co founder of the US Palestine Action group which was renamed Unity of Fields, is currently in Tehran and posting on social media from there.

She's been on Iranian News, Press TV, along with Bushra Sheikh, spinning the line that the protesters in Iran are all Israeli agents and that the Iranian population absolutely love the regime

So nothing to do with the British groups founders then. Probably should have made that clear .
She sounds like a particularly unpleasant person reading her bio.

(Sorry that wasn't directed at you. I know you didn't post the other information.)

Her wiki is fun. Fits the usual profile.

It's only because I've been following some Iranian democracy protestors that I knew. Walsh is a horrible person, I truly believe she is more motivated by hate for the West and Israel than love for Palestinians or other oppressed groups

Yes I went down a rabbit hole and completely agree with you there. She does not appear to have any genuine motivations (and a very privileged background too)

How naive and stupid to think the Iranians will welcome her with open arms

The Telegraph also reports Gaza hospital used for weapons, NGO admits.

MSF said it had never seen any hostages, Hamas fighters or other armed men in the hospital until witnessing gunmen arresting, intimidating and attacking patients in recent months.

It refused to say who the gunmen were, even though Khan Younis is controlled by Hamas and Nasser Hospital is managed by the Hamas-run health ministry.

Israel’s foreign ministry said on Sunday: “MSF now admits there are ‘armed men and suspected weapons movement’ inside Gaza’s Nasser Hospital.

“In Gaza, armed men inside hospitals are Hamas terrorists. Israel has warned for years that Hamas exploits hospitals as terror infrastructure. Better late than never.”

During a week-long operation in the area of the hospital in February 2024, Israeli special forces arrested 200 Palestinians suspected of terror activity.

The IDF also said that “sealed medicines were found in the hospital, with the names of Israeli hostages on them, and large quantities of weapons were found”.

In May last year, the IDF said it had “precisely struck significant Hamas terrorists who were operating from within a command and control centre located in the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis”.

It added: “The compound was used by the terrorists to plan and execute terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.”
