»„Sie hatten geschlafen und kamen im Schlafanzug und in Decken eingewickelt ins #Krankenhaus. Oft waren es Nachbarn, die sie brachten, weil die #Eltern getötet worden waren. Es war entsetzlich. Wir mussten aufhören, andere Kinder wiederzubeleben, um uns auf die zu konzentrieren, die noch eine Chance hatte“, sagte Haj-Hassan.

Feroze Sidhwa ist ein 43-jähriger Unfallchirurg aus Kalifornien, als Freiwilliger der medizinischen Wohltätigkeitsorganisation #MedGlobal in Khan Younis. Er berichtete, wie er dem Vater eines vierjährigen Mädchens sagte, dass seine Tochter nur noch wenige Minuten zu leben habe. „Ich sah sie mir an ... Sie hatte sehr schwere Kopfverletzungen ... Ich sagte ihrem Vater, er solle mit ihr nach draußen gehen, und bei ihr sein, und mit ihr beten, was er auch tat“, sagte Sidhwa dem Guardian.«

The Guardian

With #Gaza being under fire by #Israel again, #hospitals are experiencing horrors.

CW: the linked article contains details about wounded children, and about insufficient means to treat them.

»“They had been sleeping so were coming in wearing pyjamas, wrapped in blankets. Often it was neighbours bringing them because the #parents had been killed. It was horrific. We had to stop resuscitating several #kids simply to focus on one who had a chance,” said Haj-Hassan.

Feroze Sidhwa , a 43-year-old trauma surgeon from California, in Khan Younis as a volunteer with the medical charity #MedGlobal, described telling the father of one four-year-old #girl that his daughter was not going to live more than a few more minutes. “I had a look … She had very serious head injuries … I told her dad to take her outside and be with her and pray with her and he did,” Sidhwa told the Guardian.«

A Doctor Captures the Toll of War on Gaza’s Children

An American pediatrician spent three weeks in one of Gaza’s last functioning hospitals. He shared a record of what he witnessed, including rare footage from inside the hospital, with The New York Times.

The New York Times

Interview mit dem US-amerikanischen Kinderarzt Dr. John Kahler, der für #MedGlobal in Gaza tätig war:
"Gaza ist das Schlimmste, was ich in meiner 25-jährigen Laufbahn ... gesehen habe.
... das Ausmaß des Hungers innerhalb der Bevölkerung in Gaza ist beispiellos.
Die Schande daran ist:
Ich kann das Essen, die Lastwagen mit den Lebenspaketen auf der anderen Seite der Grenze zu Ägypten sehen.
Würden die Israelis die Zugänge öffnen, könnte man dieses Problem sofort lösen."
