confusion of two different hospitals

Latest comment: 2 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The article confuses two different hospitals. There is a children's hospital Nasser in Gazza city and a general hospital, Natser in Kahn Yunes. יעקב (talk) 21:20, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

In https://www.undp.org/sites/g/files/zskgke326/files/migration/ps/UNDP-papp-research-SEHReport.pdf the Khan Yunes hospital is referred to as Nasser hospital, while the children hospital is called Nasr hospital. יעקב (talk) 21:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I removed the statement that it is pediatric. I also see that Hospital in Khan Yunis is called Nasr/an-Nasr/Al-Nasr hospital. Unfortunately I cannot read Arabic to do anything else - Altenmann >talk 23:23, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Instead of neutrally presenting the actions and statements that actually occurred, the article emphasizes what did not happen—such as “Netanyahu's office did not provide a similar apology in Hebrew” and “Defrin did not provide specific information.” This is an attempt to lead the reader to a predetermined conclusion. Defrin provided the names and functions of the terrorists, and Netanyahu had no need to apologize in Hebrew rather than English. Please ensure the article reflects a neutral and fact-based perspective. Golden Ratio 19:48, 28 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

I asked to delete specific sentences: “Netanyahu's office did not provide a similar apology in Hebrew” and “Defrin did not provide specific information.” Golden Ratio 00:31, 31 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Description of suggested change: The type of munition is incorrectly given as a missile, whereas analysis suggests tank gun projectiles (or at least projectiles, rather than missiles) were the munitions used in this attack. See: https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-strikes-hospital-journalists-75e79272f3acc37fa8acb653e45d564c & https://x.com/RogueAdventurer/status/1963986573935935633 RogueAdventurer (talk) 16:26, 8 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Done. Changed missile → strike. – wbm1058 (talk) 03:02, 9 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

@ScottyNolan, where does the cited source say what is cited to it?

"In February 2026, Médecins Sans Frontières officially acknowledged that its teams observed masked, armed individuals within the Nasser Hospital compound and suspected the movement of weapons, leading the organization to suspend non-critical operations due to severe security breaches."^[1] IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 22:01, 13 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

In the page I've cited, under "why did MSF suspend and stop some medical activities at Nasser hospital" it's at the bottom of the page. ScottyNolan (talk) 22:05, 13 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, and where in the Relief Web source is the content covered? IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 22:23, 13 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I removed as insufficiently sourced: "This admission has been highlighted by media outlets^[2]^[3] as factual support for long-standing claims regarding the presence of militants in Gaza's medical facilities." This should be discussed before adding/restoring. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 22:34, 13 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Relief Web source seems to fail verification. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 22:36, 13 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Relief Web was about the general topic and not the specific hospital, I stand corrected. Whats wrong with the Algemeiner? ScottyNolan (talk) 17:59, 16 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Also how is this an "admission"? IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 22:36, 13 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Why did you delete Algemeiner, The. "Doctors Without Borders Admits Gaza Hospital Used by Militants, Halts Operations". Algemeiner.com. Retrieved 2026-02-13.? ScottyNolan (talk) 17:55, 16 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Moving of sentence

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The sentence "On 27 June 2025, Popular Forces militants reportedly seized control of Nasser Hospital…" should not appear in the opening paragraph. This describes a time-specific development during the fourth battle of Khan Yunis, and the situation later changed. It would therefore be more appropriate to include it in the "Gaza War" section, as the lead should summarize stable and defining information rather than temporary developments.
