It is the thirty-sixth day of Israel’s occupation of Gaza, which began last October 7, in which more than 11,000 Palestinians were killed in the bombing. Israel, which sent ground forces into Gaza at the end of October, has particularly bombed hospitals in recent days.
Currently ongoing due to the siege imposed on the region; Shortages of medicine, food and water continue to exacerbate the risks faced by Gazans. In addition, hospital workers and international relief organizations have warned countless times that hospitals are running out of fuel.
He happened to be afraid
Deputy Medical Coordinator of Doctors Without Borders, Dr. Muhammad Abu Mughaysib said that if there is no ceasefire or medical aid provided, all patients in hospitals will die, and “these hospitals will turn into graves.”
In the past hours, fears have occurred and Gaza’s giant medical complex, Al-Shifa Hospital, has run out of fuel. The hospital, which literally means “house of healing” in Turkish, is considered the largest and most comprehensive hospital in Gaza. Accordingly, the hospital consists of three special facilities; Surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology.
Israel did not provide any evidence
The medical facility continued to resist the Israeli army’s bombardment of the surrounding roads and buildings for several days. Claiming that the main headquarters of the Hamas movement is located under the hospital, without providing any evidence, the Israeli army has been demanding the evacuation of the hospital for weeks.
A senior Israeli official who spoke to the American Wall Street Journal went further, even indicating that there may be hostages under Al-Shifa Hospital.
He fell into tears
Palestinian journalist and human rights activist Yara Eid burst into tears in the video she posted on her social media account. Journalist Eid sent a call to rescue a family that was surrounded by Israeli tanks in a house near Al-Shifa Hospital and was unable to leave.
Yara Eid, who lives in London, the capital of England, asked international organizations to rescue the stranded Reese family, consisting of 13 people, in the video that she shared in Arabic and English on her account, X.
Occupation tanks, which are besieging Gaza Strip hospitals step by step, were seen around Al-Rantisi Hospital for the first time yesterday.
In addition to the aerial bombardment, Israel wants to evacuate the hospitals that it surrounded with ground forces.
