Gaza\u2019s Indonesian Hospital \u2018out of service\u2019, overwhelmed with wounded | Israel-Palestine conflict News<\/p>\n
The Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza has gone \u2018completely out of service\u2019 due to a lack of supplies and an overwhelming number of patients amid Israel\u2019s assault on the besieged territory, hospital director Atef al-Kahlout has said.<\/p>\n
Footage from the hospital in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip shows wounded Palestinians lining the hallways of the facility and lying prone amid pools of blood.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot offer any more services \u2026 we can\u2019t offer patients any beds,\u201d al-Kahlout told Al Jazeera on Thursday.<\/p>\n
While the hospital has a capacity of 140 patients, al-Kahlout said some 500 patients are currently inside the hospital.<\/p>\n
He said 45 patients are in need of \u201curgent surgical intervention\u201d, and called on ambulances \u201cnot to bring any more wounded people\u201d to the facility due to the lack of capacity.<\/p>\n
He says the hospital\u2019s departments are \u201cunable to carry out their work\u201d. Health workers at the hospital cited a critical shortage of supplies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have beds,\u201d a health worker told Al Jazeera on a tour of the building.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis person needs an intensive care unit,\u201d he added pointing to a young man lying on the ground while being tended to by a nurse.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd [here],\u201d he says pointing to another patient with an amputated leg, \u201cwe have no medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe receive wounded people from Wadi Gaza to Beit Hanoon,\u201d he says, \u201csome have been here for 10 days.\u201d<\/p>\n Nearly 30,000 Palestinians have been wounded since Israel began its assault on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out a surprise attack on southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people, according to Israeli authorities.<\/p>\n More than 11,400 people have been killed, including more than 4,600 children, in the Israeli assault on Gaza, according to Palestinian health authorities. Israel has also severely restricted supplies of water, food, electricity and fuel, with aid agencies warning of a humanitarian catastrophe in the enclave.<\/p>\n \u201cMedical teams [at the Indonesian hospital] were forced to amputate some patients\u2019 [body parts] due to the rotting of the organs,\u201d Al Jazeera\u2019s Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Khan Younis, adding that the hospital is unable to transfer the injured elsewhere.<\/p>\n \u201cAll hospitals in Gaza City and the north have stopped operating,\u201d director al-Kahlout said.<\/p>\n The Indonesian Hospital, located near the Jabalia refugee camp \u2013 the largest in Gaza \u2013 has also been sheltering hundreds of displaced people who sought shelter there.<\/p>\n The vicinity of the hospital had been struck multiple times by Israeli forces, with at least two civilians killed in those strikes between October 7 and 28, according to Human Rights Watch.<\/p>\n Israel\u2019s military has alleged the Indonesian Hospital is used \u201cto hide an underground command and control centre\u201d for Hamas. Palestinian officials and the Indonesian group that funds the hospital have rejected the claims.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, concerns are growing for the thousands of civilians trapped at al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza\u2019s largest medical complex, amid an ongoing Israeli raid. Israel says the hospital harbours a Hamas command centre, a claim the group has denied.<\/p>\n White House spokesman John Kirby said on Thursday the United States was \u201cconfident in our own intelligence assessment\u201d that Hamas has been using the hospital \u201cas a command and control node, and most likely as well as a storage facility\u201d.<\/p>\n Late on Thursday, the Israeli army published videos it said showed a Hamas tunnel shaft and a vehicle \u201ccontaining a large number of weapons\u201d uncovered at Gaza\u2019s al-Shifa Hospital complex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631<\/a>
