We just received new information from the Palestinian health ministry. It states that 1,055 people have died and over 5,100 others have been hurt since Israel started their air strikes on Saturday.
However, Ghasan Abu Sitta, a surgeon from Palestine who now lives in Britain, says that the hospital where he is currently working in Gaza has transformed into a place for refugees.
“He said on the Today programme that people are scared and that’s why they are bringing their families to stay in the hospital compound because it is a secure place. ”
The doctor said there were many injured people coming one after another, but his hospital, Shifa, was already full. And it’s the same situation in most other hospitals in Gaza.
Abu Sitta said that Gaza has approximately 2200 to 2500 beds and they have already treated 4500 injured people.
