Hospitals in Gaza - the aftermath Thread 4

[Efacsen]

New thread as requested

Thank you. Unbelievable that Israel has attacked so many hospitals so viciously that this is the fourth thread in seven months but there you go.

WHO are saying that there are still 9 semi-functioning hospitals in Gaza but I can only count ?6

None in northern gaza

Kuwaiti hospital Rafah- under evacuation orders
Emirati hospital, Rafah - NICU only
European hospital Khan Younis
Al-Asqa hospital Deir-al-balat
?Jordan field hospital
?New Red Cross field hospital

Are there others

Thanks for the thread @Efacsen

Thanks for the new thread @Efacsen. It's so sad we've had to create another and 4 at that! But the situation has become so dire and on going that it's needed.

Thanks for the thread. It’s a shame we need a thread number 4 as this thread always provides bad news

Thank you for the new thread.

Hospitals back from the brink

James Smith, a British emergency room doctor volunteering in hospitals in southern Gaza, said he had been told by a World Health Organization official that some emergency fuel had made it into the Gaza Strip, potentially enough for six days.

Good news,

Looks like this hospital didn't receive the fuel mentioned above

Gaza European Hospital ‘out of service’ due to fuel shortages

The electricity generators at the European Hospital near Rafah have stopped working due to fuel shortages, putting the hospital “out of service”, the Wafa news agency reports, citing medical sources.

Thank you for the new thread and all the updates.

Terrible. And people are still trying to justify it! It’s unbelievable.

WHO says now only 8 semi-functioning hospitals

The Alhali Arab hospital is one of them

Seven medical staff were injured yesterday - one seriously after the bombing of a house at the entrance to the Kuwaiti hospital

Overseas medical staff whose hospitals have been put out of service are unable to leave Gaza due to closure of Rafah gate - includes 17 US doctors from the European hospital

Paramedics injured in rafah

Israeli Army Appears to Be Using Gaza Hospital, School as Bases, Washington Post Reports

Kamal Adwan still semi-functioning but under bombardment yesterday

And European hospital ?returned to some kind of service/limping on

PRCS are trying to re-open Al_Amal hospital which was besieged and 'evacuated' last month

All but 3 of the US medics above have been evacuated via Kerem Shalom - the 3 who didn't leave chose to stay

UN were drawing attention to the injured and cancer sufferers who no longer can be medically evacuated via Rafah - small numbers but a lifeline for those permitted to leave

This isn't terribly clear - tents are for patients - see photos online

‘Al-Aqsa Hospital overwhelmed with patients’

The hospital is overwhelmed with patients and injured people. It’s operating at more than three times its original capacity. We can see tents being set up in the hospital, which has become a refuge for people struggling to find a safe space.

The situation is getting desperate as more casualties arrive at the hospital located in central Gaza.

MSF has said that al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, which has been treating 34 patients wounded in Israeli attacks from Saturday, is surrounded by Israeli tanks and has run out of drinking water.

Poor baby

Premature baby dies at Kaman Adwan Hospital: Report

A baby in an incubator at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya has died, the Wafa news agency reports, after an oxygen machine stopped working.

Some patients unable to be evacuated from Kamal Adwan Hospital

The situation in Kamal Adwan is escalating as the Israeli artillery shelling is targeting the reception and emergency department and the gate of Kamal Adwan. And this started yesterday.

The hospital is currently being evacuated. Unfortunately, there are some patients that are not able to evacuate because they’re directly connected to the machines, and if they are disconnected, they’re going to lose their lives.

We have been seeing footage and videos of people trying to help these people evacuate. Some of them were on the beds of the hospital, but unfortunately, these people do not know where they’re going to evacuate because they’re evacuating under fire.

More footage is emerging of children and other people who have been seeking refuge in the hospital.

And not only Kamal Adwan, also the director of al-Awda Hospital said that the situation in the hospital is dire. They have been trapped in the hospital for three days right now and there are 15 patients trapped and are unable to evacuate. Among them are two women that gave birth to two babies recently.

Do you think Biden has any outrage about this situation?

Doubt it
