Israeli forces have targeted Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital with missiles, destroying the emergency unit and putting the only functioning hospital in northern Gaza out of service.

Doctor sounds alarm about ‘complete breakdown’ of Gaza’s medical system

Al Jazeera has spoken to Mohammed Tahir, a trauma and nerve surgeon at FAJR Scientific who returned to London from Gaza on Saturday and who has been there on a number of medical missions, about the medical needs in the territory.
He said the patients that need to urgently be evacuated include those who have been directly affected by the war, suffering from bullet and shrapnel wounds, as well as more chronic cases, such as cancer patients.
“Those patients will die unless they are allowed to be evacuated,” Tahir warned, noting that there is a “complete breakdown” of the healthcare system and a lack of appropriate tools and diagnostics.
At the same time, Tahir said, there is a need to redevelop Gaza’s medical system in order to treat the hundreds of thousands of people requiring treatment.
“We need to rebuild the local system, allow the import of critical equipment and expertise, and at the same time allow those with the most urgent needs evacuated so that they have their healthcare needs addressed,” he added.
Tahir also said that from the moment the ceasefire took effect on January 19 until February 2, when he left Gaza, there was “no appreciable change in terms of medical care” as the urgent healthcare needs had not been met.

More than a year into Israel’s most brutal assault on Gaza, much of the besieged enclave has been destroyed, including many schools and hospitals. Last year, as the war was just beginning, we visited Gaza’s largest and most important hospital – al-Shifa – as it faced collapse following the Israeli siege on water and fuel. The electricity was about to run out and al-Shifa was close to collapse.
Now, more than a year later, we go back to the hospital that served so many Palestinians throughout so many attacks on Gaza. Al-Shifa Hospital is now an empty shell after the latest siege. No patients remain at the facility. Most of the buildings are extensively damaged or destroyed and the majority of the equipment is unusable or reduced to ashes. The scale of devastation has left the facility completely non-functional, further reducing access to life-saving healthcare in Gaza. Restoring even minimal functionality in the short term seems implausible but with a partial reopening, not impossible.
The hospital’s emergency department and surgical and maternity ward buildings are extensively damaged due to explosives and fire. The western wall of the emergency department and the northern wall of the neonatal intensive care department (NICU) have been torn down. At least 115 beds in what once was the emergency department have been burned and 14 incubators in the NICU destroyed, among other assets.
Numerous shallow graves have been dug just outside the emergency department, and administrative and surgical buildings. In the same area, many bodies were partially buried with their limbs visible, a smell of decomposing flesh engulfing the hospital compound.
According to the acting hospital director, patients were held in abysmal conditions during the siege. They endured a severe lack of food, water, healthcare, hygiene and sanitation, and were forced to relocate between buildings at gunpoint.
This film will bring to light the devastation of al-Shifa Hospital, and what this means for the healthcare system of Gaza.

Medical facilities have been repeatedly attacked by Israeli forces since the beginning of the war and the doctor noted local healthcare workers are “constantly scared they’ll be the next target”.
“There’s some level of safety being a foreigner but at the same time we don’t know who or when will be struck. For those reasons, we’ve been instructed very particularly we’re not to leave the hospital grounds.

‘Same story complete’: Foreign volunteer doctor compares Lebanon with Gaza

The type of injuries from Israeli attacks on Lebanon is reminiscent of those in Gaza, particularly at the start of Israel’s war there last year, says Ghassan Abu Sittah, a foreign doctor currently in Beirut.
“Having worked in Gaza during the first two months of the genocide there, it’s the same story complete,” Abu Sittah told Al Jazeera from the Lebanese capital.
He said victims had almost “identical” patterns of injuries due to blasts and being pulled from under rubble.
Multiple members of the same family were also being killed in Lebanon, just as in Gaza, he added.
“Children constitute a large part of the wounded,” Abu Sittah said, noting these young victims were largely injured inside their homes after coming under attack.
“We have been receiving children who needed paediatric intensive care and because of the shortage of paediatric intensive care beds, they’ve had to be sent from front-line hospitals in the south all the way back to Beirut.”
Many coming into hospitals also have no homes to go back to because those were destroyed in the attacks, the doctor said.

Re-using medical supplies, and operating without anaesthetics. That’s the reality in much of Gaza, where the injured are faced with a health system that collapsed a long time ago. Teams of international doctors who have been able to enter the strip, are shocked by the number of children they’re operating on. Dr Victoria Rose just returned to the United Kingdom after working in Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. She says children are increasingly suffering life-altering wounds in Israeli attacks compared to her earlier stint in Gaza in March.

A tent camp near Al-Aqsa Hospital was hit by an Israeli airstrike, leaving a scene of devastation. Dozens of tents were destroyed, and displaced residents searched for their remaining belongings. The strike, which killed at least four people, including women and children, occurred without warning near Gaza’s largest hospital. The area, considered a safe zone, was unexpectedly targeted, turning the hospital into what some describe as a graveyard rather than a place of treatment. Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el Balah in central Gaza.

The explosion was massive, with dust and debris covering the main parts of the hospital. The road, approximately eight meters wide, runs across from the gate where a house, previously bombed early in the war, was targeted again. The buzz of attack drones continues to fill the sky.

Al Jazeera spoke to Dr Khalil al-Degran, spokesman for Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah. He said Israeli forces “continue to target and pound unsuspecting residents” who are staying in civilian areas. “Yesterday, the Israeli official forces targeted a residential building. In this building, seven members of the same family were killed. Six children, together with their mother,” he said. He said 25 hospitals are out of operation in the besieged enclave, and very few are still functioning. With the Rafah border crossing with Egypt closed for more than 200 days, he said the hospital is experiencing a severe shortage of medical supplies. The staff at the hospital cannot provide “the most basic medical necessities” for injured patients, “a clear signal that the entire health sector has collapsed in Gaza”, he said. Al-Degran said Israeli forces have a clear intent to commit “genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population”.

Why is Israel targeting hospitals in Gaza? | Al Jazeera World Documentary
Jun 1, 2024 #AlJazeeraWorld #documentary #gaza
Israel is attacking Gaza’s hospitals in violation of international law, but is it part of a pattern going back to 1948? Hospitals are supposed to be immune from attack in times of war but Israel has repeatedly bombed and shelled them since October 7, 2023.
This film looks at Israel’s destruction of Gaza’s hospitals in the context of its historical expansion at the expense of the Palestinian population, going back to 1948. The Israeli army cut off water, power, fuel and medical supplies to Gaza and has attacked most of its hospitals.
It claims that al-Shifa Hospital shielded a Hamas command centre and attacked it despite the hundreds of civilians sheltering there – but produced little evidence to support that claim.
The alleged war crimes that the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants for on both sides include Israel’s deliberate targeting of civilians, many of whom have taken shelter in Gaza’s hospitals.

The Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah in southern Gaza has shut down after two of its medical staff were killed in an Israeli attack just outside its front doors. The facility is Rafah’s main hospital and was where most of the victims of an Israeli attack on a tent camp for displaced people in Rafah were seeking treatment. Dr Mohammed Tahir, an orthopaedic surgeon, who just returned to the United Kingdom after volunteering in Rafah, described the situation at the hospital.
Israeli forces killed medical workers when it attacked Rafah’s main hospital, where dozens of Palestinians injured in Sunday’s horrific camp attack were being treated. Gaza’s Kuwaiti Hospital has since had to shut, as Israeli tanks advance further into Rafah.

The director of the Kuwait Specialty Hospital in Rafah is warning the medical facility will run out of fuel in less than 24 hours. “We are sounding the alarm and urging the World Health Organization to live up to its responsibilities and provide the hospital with the necessary fuel to power the generators. We have an amount of fuel that is enough only for 24 hours,” Shuaib al-Hams told Al Jazeera. “The Palestinian people must not be left alone to face their fate. This hospital is still operating and has never been evacuated. We will continue our efforts for the sake of the patients and we are now trying to establish a field hospital as soon as possible.” Bridget Rochios is a midwife from the United States, who has been in Gaza for a month working at the Emirati hospital and she told Al Jazeera why fuel is crucial resource to Gaza’s survival.
