Or beheading.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Nasser hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis went out of action early on Sunday, Gaza health ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra said.

Qidra said water supply to the hospital had halted because generators had been out of action for three days, sewage was flooding emergency rooms and the remaining staff had no way of treating intensive care patients.

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, said in a tweet on X on Sunday that Nasser hospital was “not functional anymore”.

More than half the enclave’s 2.3 million Palestinians have sought refuge in the southern city, after having obeyed Israeli evacuation orders earlier in the war.

Gantz, a retired general and one of the war cabinet’s three members, represents an influential voice but not the final word on what might lie ahead.

The latest blow to Gaza’s destroyed healthcare sector came as Israel prepared for an assault of the southernmost city Rafah, home now to more than a million mostly displaced Palestinians living in desperate conditions.


The original article contains 685 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The headline is a bit contradictory. Either it is completely out of service or functioning but not both. Presumably they mean it was the largest functioning one before it was turned into the current state.

The 'completely out of service' part is a quote from a relevant person (not the author), and it seems publications frequently try to use quotes in their titles, which could explain the phrasing. Based on the article, it could also be an intentional choice. It sounds like the hospital is still functioning in regards to some staff and patients are inside the hospital (and possibly can't leave), but it is completely out of service in the sense that the staff can't actually take care of the patients or accept new ones.
