When Gaza's Indonesian Hospital received a sudden influx of patients badly injured by Israeli bombing on Tuesday, medics set up an operating room in a corridor because the main surgical theatres were full, they said.
A medical worker assists a Palestinian, who was wounded in Israeli strikes, at the Intensive Care Unit of Nasser hospital, as doctors say they are only able to accept critical cases that are in need of surgery, while the unit is filled up with victims of the ongoing conflict with Israel, in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza...on Tuesday, medics set up an operating room in a corridor because the main surgical theatres were full, they said.
Israeli tanks have entered Gaza, home to 2.3 million people, after three weeks of intense bombing that has smashed entire districts in response to an Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants who killed 1,400 people in southern Israel and grabbed 240 hostages. "The bombardment caused great damage and put some electro-mechanical systems out of work. It also endangered the lives of patients and medical teams," said Doctor Sobi Skaik, director of the hospital, the area's only cancer treatment facility.
Gaza's Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra said the main generators for both the Indonesian Hospital and for al-Shifa Hospital, in Gaza City, could be switched off late on Wednesday. Indonesian Hospital has about 250 patients at present, Masry said. Because it is close to frontlines in northern Gaza, the hospital has received many of those caught in Israel's bombardment and advance, he said.
