The most recent development in the ongoing situation at Gaza's Nasser Hospital is the suspension of non-critical operations by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) due to security concerns. According to the Daily Times, MSF halted these operations on January 20, 2026, after reports of armed men within the hospital, which posed 'serious security threats to our teams and patients.' This decision was made public through an update on MSF's website on February 11, 2026. The presence of armed individuals has been noted since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire in October 2023, with MSF reporting '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' (WSOCTV). The organization has expressed its concerns to the relevant authorities, emphasizing that hospitals must remain neutral, civilian spaces.
