Mainly about Al Shifa [bombed front of hospital 3]

Patients being evacuated from Al Amal were held up for 7 hours whilst IDF pulled this latest stunt

UN humanitarian office accuses Israel of strip-searching and detaining paramedics from medical evacuation convoy

The UN has accused Israeli forces in Gaza of stalling a medical evacuation convoy in Khan Younis and forcing paramedics to strip for searches before detaining them.
In comments made in Geneva, Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the United Nations humanitarian office (OCHA), told reporters:

Despite prior coordination for all staff members and vehicles with the Israeli side, the Israeli forces blocked the WHO-led (World Health Organization) convoy for many hours the moment it left the hospital.

The Israeli military forced patients and staff out of ambulances and stripped all paramedics of their clothes. Three Palestinian Red Crescent Society paramedics were subsequently detained, although their personal details had been shared with the Israeli forces in advance

OCHA claimed one paramedic was later released, but appealed for the release of the two others and all other detained health personnel.

Reuters reports the Israeli military did not immediately comment, saying it was checking the details of the incident.

Not seen any new updates on Nasser

This is very sad from Kamal Adwan hospital

Hospital in northern Gaza treating newborns for malnutrition

Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the head of Kamal Adwan Hospital, says the facility has seen a steep rise in malnutrition cases among children, especially newborns.

“Signs of weakness and paleness are apparent on newborns because the mother is malnourished,” Abu Safiya says.

The hospital, in the northern Gaza Strip, has treated babies with advanced dehydration and other complications from malnutrition, he says.

“Unfortunately many kids have died in the past weeks.”
“If we don’t get the proper aid urgently, we will be losing more and more to malnutrition

Also saw that the 2 month old baby who died of malnutrition [several posts about this on other threads] died at Al Shifa

Update on Nasser from PRCS

“Four ambulance vehicles evacuated 18 wounded individuals, including two newborns who lost their mothers. The cases were transferred to the International Medical Corps and the Indonesian Field hospitals in Rafah Governorate, as well as the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis, in addition to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.”

There's a real lack of journalists there and the reporting has been very patchy

The very long WHO tweet on page 29 which explains the background

@Dulra it's a bit of a confusing story - particularly as to why the IDF are continuing to fire on a hospital they have been in control of [and largely destroyed] for about a week

IDF claim to have found 20 Hamas fighters and weapons at the hospital - some allegedly 'imposing' [?impersonating] doctors - almost all the medical and nursing staff have been detained for 'questioning' bar 25 still trapped with 100 plus patients in one building

@Parkingt111 poor Dr Ahmed and his colleagues what a terrible experience

51 patients have now been evacuated in 3 missions

13 patients have died thro' lack of oxygen, ventilation, medication etc

IDF withdrew from the remaining hospital buildings to the hospital gates, re-invaded, withdrew again and are now firing on the hospital from the gates

A couple of snippets about Al Shifa

''Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City is gradually becoming more operational again after the withdrawal of Israeli forces, but the suffering of the wounded has not decreased.

Out of fuel, the hospital is unable to run equipment like x-ray machines, and carry out operations, and medicines for injuries and traumas are very scarce, the doctor said.

“The medical staff are over-exhausted, they work around the clock,” the doctor added, also saying many fled to the south of the Strip to escape fighting in the north.

“We deal with scores of injuries and killed people, and the traumas range from medium to critical. Even critical ones require specialised interventions that we lack here … We ask for the medical staff to be allowed back and to have fuel.”

Jordan and UK air-dropped aid to Tal al Hawa hospital in Gaza City - incl some fuel [!!]

Not going well at Al Amal water, fuel, oxygen supplies dwindling and continuing siege
warfare

Seems to be an impasse at Nasser - IDF not permitting further evacuations and not allowing sufficient aid into the hospital. Major concerns about 'human and clinical waste accumulating and contaminated water flowing thro clinical areas

@Parkingt111 I can't think of any others either

Saw some film earlier of the NICU at the Emirati hospital in Rafah - it is as reported very crowded with extra incubators and 2 babies to each

Is this the last NICU left in Gaza? 130 NICU cots at the beginning of this war

Update on Nasser hospital

PRCS, WHO evacuate 21 patients from Nasser Hospital in Gaza

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says five of its ambulance crews participated in the evacuation operation in coordination with the World Health Organization.

The 21 wounded people were transferred on Tuesday evening to the International Field Medical Corps and Indonesian Field Hospitals in nearby Rafah.

Indeed

Tanks and bull-dozers seen arriving in Al Mawasi this morning too

Nothing safe about these so called 'safe areas'

Yes the BBC has actual film of the visit - why did they make them go at night if there's no electricity
