Ambulances rushed to transport a large number of wounded and
killed most of whom were children, due to the airstrikes into the hospital. The
hospital is currently operating at 150% capacity, according to the Ministry of
Health.
An hour before the attack, Mohamed Qandeel, the head of the
emergency department at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, had spoken about leaving
patients in the hospital "facing their fate due to the lack of intensive
care beds and artificial breathing machines."
He stated that the hospital had reached "the beginning
of an actual collapse," and had been issuing warnings and pleas for the
past seven days that the hospital was full of severe and critical injuries.
The hospital operates on fuel generators, and it lacks
external water supplies.
Over the past 48 hours, about 200 martyrs and 400 wounded
individuals have arrived at the hospital. Qandeel mentioned that the large
number of casualties is a result of the weapons used, which cause extensive
damage.
