‘We are minutes away from death,’ Al-Shifa hospital head in Gaza

Gaza: The head of Gaza's largest al-Shifa hospital said that due to Israeli bombardment, all surgical operations in the hospital have stopped and we are a few minutes away from death.

In a conversation with the Arab media, the manager of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, stated: “Israeli planes and snipers are targeting everyone around the hospital, we cannot even go outside the hospital to pick up the injured”.

The director of Al-Shifa Hospital added in his statement that they are only a few minutes away from death. The world is watching them die and children in Al-Shifa Hospital's nursery and patients in Intense Care Unit (ICU) are dying due to lack of electricity.

He further said that due to the Israeli bombardment, a fire broke out in the refugees' tents inside the Al-Shifa complex, which will possibly spread to the entire medical complex.

On the other hand, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said in its statement that Israeli tanks have targeted the internal parts of Al-Shifa Medical Hospital. A fire broke out in the hospital after the Israeli attack.
