On December 25, local time, Sean Casey, coordinator of the World Health Organization's Gaza Emergency Medical Team, filmed ** at Al-Aqsa Hospital in the central Gaza Strip and said that the hospital's medical staff tried their best, but they were still unable to cope with the influx of patients all the time, and the lack of medical treatment and medicine caused a large number of patients to die tragically.
Casey said that before filming this episode, he had just witnessed a 9-year-old boy who had suffered a serious head injury due to Israeli bombing without effective treatment, and medical staff had to use sedatives to minimize his pain as he died. As long as the conflict continues, no matter how hard the efforts of the health workers in the Gaza Strip are, it will not be enough – the conflict must be stopped sooner rather than later
In the war-torn Gaza Strip, Palestinians continue to be injured, burned, and injured by collapsed buildings. Due to the lack of necessary medical supplies, some injured people who would not have had their limbs amputated end up losing their legs or hands. In the war-torn Gaza Strip, the number of amputations has increased dramatically.
This is Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Barah, in the central Gaza Strip. Nawal Jaber, 54, was injured in an Israeli bombing and had to have her leg amputated after being taken to the hospital. Her life, she said, was "completely paralyzed."
Amputee Nawal Jaber: My life was "completely paralyzed" and it almost took my life. I wish I could walk or stand, but I can't. I wish I could do something for the kids, but I can't.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recently said that only 9 of the 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip are partially functioning and are overwhelmed. Al-Aqsa Hospital is already overloaded, with amputees resting in beds in corridors, and children and the elderly are even more worrisome.
Al-Aqsa Hospital staff said that every time an air raid hits, a large number of injured people pour in, and due to the shortage of various medical resources such as medicines, personnel, and equipment, if amputation surgery is not carried out as soon as possible to avoid the deterioration of the injury, the injured may die.
