A hospital in southern Gaza is struggling with a lack of incubators and oxygen for premature babies, as the war-damaged healthcare system and limits on goods entering the territory deplete medical supplies and specialist equipment.

At Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis, two newborns are sharing a single incubator because the facility lacks space and supplies, according to Hatem Dhahir, head of the hospital's neonatal department.
Dhahir said there is no oxygen available for the babies and no spare incubators in the hospital. He said staff are trying to transfer them to other hospitals, but those facilities are always full and the situation is worsening.
The war in Gaza has severely damaged the healthcare system, leaving many medical facilities unusable. Ongoing restrictions on goods entering the territory have also depleted medical supplies and specialist equipment, according to the source.
