An American nurse in Gaza City films a hospital’s collapse as Israeli forces surround it

Al-Quds [#hospital] once had capacity for 120 patients. Now, roughly 20 remain, including two babies in intensive care. About 60 doctors, nurses and patients’ families are sheltering there.

Vaughan is from Seattle and volunteered through the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association since July. She kept a video diary of her time at al-Quds, occasionally posting on social media.

She shared dozens of videos with #TheAssociatedPress, which verified them. Volunteers in #Gaza like her have become a vital source of information, as #Israel has forbidden foreign media.

An American nurse in Gaza City films a hospital's collapse

The health care system in Gaza City is coming under fire and being pushed toward collapse as Israeli troops bear down. Nearly two weeks into Israel’s latest ground offensive on Gaza’s largest city, two clinics were destroyed by airstrikes, two hospitals shut down after being damaged and others are barely functioning. Medicine, equipment, food and fuel are in short supply. An American nurse volunteering at al-Quds hospital for three months kept a video diary and shared it with the Associated Press. The diary provides a rare record of military operations that pushed the facility toward its breaking point.

A few weeks ago, dockworkers in Genoa threatened a total shutdown of ports if #Israel interfered with the #GlobalSumudFlotilla, the humanitarian aid mission of dozens of boats heading to #Gaza to try and break Israel’s siege and blockade. Student organizations in #Spain and #Italy joined the call to action, threatening to shut down their schools.
