I do not know whether or not "Nasser Hospital" in Gaza City has a flag, but here is its logo.
About 2017 the "Nasser Hospital" was renamed the "Nasser Medical Complex" in
Khan Yunis city (southern Gaza Strip), although almost everyone calls it by its
original name. (The hospital was originally named after Egyptian Pres. Gamal
Abdel Nasser.) If it were to have a flag, I'm guessing it would have its logo on
its flag. Regarding this multi-theme logo, the middle blue design is stylized to
loosely combine a map of Gaza, on the right the Falcon bird of that area, with
all coming together to possibly represent a human with arms outstretched (in
medical assistance?), and the entire blue section with the blue-dot human head
mimics the Arabic letter "N" (which would be a substitution for "Nasser"). The
bottom middle blue Arabic word is "Nasser". [Note: "Nasser" (Arabic: ناص) and
"Nasr" (Arabic: نصر) are close, but different words, sometimes confused in the
press in the names of hospitals.] The red half-moon crescent alludes to a likely
relationship with the international Islamic "Red Crescent" medical-aid
organization. In late October 2023 "Nasser Hospital" came to international media
attention, as it began receiving sick and wounded Palestinians who were being
evacuated from hospitals in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, due to the
activity of "Israeli Defense Forces" (IDF) around "Shifa Hospital" in northern
Gaza.
