The boss of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza talked to the press about how things are going at the hospital.
“The hospital has no more oxygen and water. The people in the hospital are suffering and screaming because they are very thirsty. It’s a very sad situation. ”
He says there are tanks around the hospital, drones flying above and Israeli soldiers inside, especially in the emergency department.
He says Israeli soldiers have destroyed the main water pipe at Al-Shifa. At this time, the BBC cannot confirm what is happening at the hospital by themselves.
The place has over 650 patients, 500 medical workers, and over 5,000 people who had to leave their homes. The doctors can’t go to different parts of the building right now.
“He says that sniping operations are still happening, and we can’t move from one building to another. We also can’t communicate with our colleagues. ”
He said that the Israeli soldiers took some dead bodies from the hospital, and now four patients who need dialysis are very sick.
