I must say that the above report doesn't make a lot of sense to me wrt 70-80 orphans being brought to the hospital per day - there seems to be a piece of information missing

Apart from that it does describe how awful every hospital has become

Hospital in Rafah overcrowded with orphans, premature babies

Al-Helal Al-Emairati Maternity Hospital in Rafah is witnessing overcrowding of children who have become orphans as well as premature babies.

“We now have at least 70 to 80 cases per day in the hospital,” said Dr Ahmed al-Shaer, deputy head of the hospital’s nursery department, referring to the number of children brought in each day orphaned as a result of the war.

“One of them is an unknown child and we do not know the fate of his family, and people found him on a tree in the morning as a result of the shelling and brought him to the hospital.”

According to footage seen by Al Jazeera as well as several doctors’ statements, there are also the bodies of premature babies who died a few days ago, with the hospital administration unable to reach their families.

Doctors at the hospital have said they are facing overcrowding issues, and that there is a lack of equipment, oxygen and electricity.

Thank you to the WHO and anyone involved in these evacuations. I wish they had somewhere safer to go.

Further 18 injured patients evacuated from Nasser by PRCS- 'dozens' remain and subject to WHO negotiations

“Eighteen wounded individuals were evacuated and transferred to the field hospitals of the American and Indonesian field hospitals in Rafah governorate,” the group said.''

The report was very brief and just said that they had been taken to 'hospitals in Khan Younis and Rafah' I'll look for it but only one sentence

At a guess I'd think that the ICU patients went to the European hosp in KY because it's closer and it's ICU was operational just a couple of days ago. And also guessing one of the 3 Rafah 'hospitals' is actually a dialysis unit [sorry can't remember it's name] so that would be the logical place

But I might be completely wrong

Do you know where they took them? Do you have a news source you can share?

Efacsen · 19/02/2024 10:10

Indeed and also amazed that they found somewhere to evacuate them to

I’m amazed they have actually been able to evacuate anyone! Some positive news. Thanks for sharing!

Efacsen · 19/02/2024 07:49

WHO has evacuated 14 patients from Nasser - incl 3 ICU and 5 dialysis patients

Field hospital set up in Rafah amid Israeli attacks

Lots of pictures but no details of what this is about
?UN/WHO 'feeding station' for malnourished children
?'Shelter for mothers and new borns'

@Parkingt111 how truly awful attacking injured patients lying in their beds

Parkingt111 · 18/02/2024 10:12

@Efacsen the PRCS posted pictures of the third floor of Al Amal hospital after it came under Israeli artillery fire.
To think burnt and injured civilians who were first bombed are now facing further terror whilst trying to get some form of treatment

Mainly about Al Shifa [bombed front of hospital 3]

@Toothyfruity I don't understand it - why are they firing on a building they are already in control of and on the 5 doctors who they've judged Hamas-free

Amal hospital also coming under IDF fire

I guess they just enjoy being terrorists? There's no explanation for such depravity. They're an absolute joke and a disgrace of an "army".

WHO update on Nasser hospital

WHO chief says Nasser Hospital is defunct with 200 patients inside

“Both yesterday and the day before, the WHO team was not permitted to enter the hospital to assess the conditions of the patients and critical medical needs, despite reaching the hospital compound to deliver fuel alongside partners,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement on X.

He said there were still about 200 patients in the hospital and at least 20 of them need to be urgently referred to other hospitals to receive health care.

He added: “Medical referral is every patient’s right. The cost of delays will be paid by patients’ lives. Access to the patients and hospital should be facilitated.”

Al Jazeera adds further that there are only 4 doctors left caring for all the patients - I saw yesterday that one of the 5 doctors has been injured by missile attack on the medical sleeping area. Hopefully there are nurses or other staff too as that's an impossible task

The war crimes are coming thick and fast.

I have just seen reported there's approx 120 patient and 5 medical teams still at Al Nasser hospital
Without any adequate provisions

Thanks - I was looking for an update but couldn't find one

And yes very much so that the brutalisation of medical staff is in danger of becoming the norm

There's not even any outrage anymore on how suspected detainees are treated. I have seen many many testimonies not only on social media but MSM too on how those who are detained are treated, who are later released. It just seems to be the accepted norm

Parkingt111 · 17/02/2024 17:35

@Efacsen that sounds terrible but its not the first time I have heard of doctors and health care workers testifying to torture after being released. Sky news had a testimony from a doctor who was detained for over 40 days who said the same about his terrible treatment.

I have just seen Dr Ahmed has evacuated to Rafah. I'm wondering how many doctors and patients are left in Al Nasser still

Efacsen · 17/02/2024 15:02

Thanks @Parkingt111 unfortunately the flooding has reached the emergency dept which is now a couple of inches deep in water [looks more like wastewater than sewage]

This too from PRCS about 2 of their doctors detained - and then released. Horrible pictures of their injuries attached to the tweet

Red Crescent shares images of ‘brutality’ towards doctors

The PRCS has posted photos of two Palestinian doctors arrested a week ago from al-Amal Hospital by Israeli soldiers, who were later allegedly tortured, beaten and humiliated before their release on Friday.

“The Israeli occupation arrested 12 PRCS teams, including seven who were arrested from inside Al-Amal Hospital about a week ago”, the Red Crescent said.

PRCS said it is concerned for the safety of its detained team members, whose fate remains unknown, and “calls on the international community to urgently intervene to pressure the Israeli occupation authorities to immediately release our detained teams and provide protection for PRCS teams working in the Gaza Strip”.

@Efacsen I was just thinking that the name Dr Haytham Ahmed sounds familiar from somewhere and then I remembered he gave an account of the account that was reported by the BBC just three days ago
Shocking that he has been detained

A doctor at Nasser hospital's emergency department, Haitham Ahmed, told BBC Arabic on Tuesday night that Israeli tanks had destroyed the northern wall during heavy bombardment and violent clashes in the surrounding area.
"Part of the stock of medical supplies... was burned as a result of the morning clashes," he said. "Since [Monday], with the hospital's infrastructure being affected, sewage has unfortunately begun to flow into the departments located on the ground floors of the hospital, and there is a fear that it will reach the emergency and radiology departments."
