We have been telling you about a lot of explosions near the Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City. The Israeli military told people to leave on Sunday, but doctors say it’s impossible to move all the sick people being taken care of there.
There is worry about patients and staff at another hospital in Gaza City called Al Shifa. The head surgeon there has said the situation is very bad.
According to Dr. Marwan Abusada’s voice note to the BBC, there are currently 55,000 displaced people in Al Shifa hospital. The hospital is very crowded.
Abusada said the hospital was very busy and patients were filling up the hallways as more came. Around 100 patients were taken to different hospitals during the weekend, according to him. But we continue to get a lot of cases. Every 30 minutes, a lot of people who are hurt come to us.
He said that it is very challenging because there is not enough of things like anaesthetics, painkillers, and antibiotics. “We are unable to do any additional tasks. ”
Israel’s military says that Hamas’s main base is located underneath Al Shifa. Hamas disagrees with that statement and some of the doctors who work there have requested for the hospital to be kept safe.
On Sunday, it was reported by people living in Gaza City that Israeli warplanes hit near the hospital during the night. People in Gaza told the BBC reporter that roads nearby were hit on Saturday.
