Transporting family members to the hospital where they worked
Family giving birth during evacuation: “There is no medicine or water”
As the death toll in the Gaza Strip exceeded 2,800 on the 17th (local time) due to the Israeli military’s retaliatory air strike in response to a surprise attack by the Palestinian armed group Hamas, sad cases are becoming known one after another.
According to the British ITV broadcast on the 16th, Muhammad Abu Musa, a Palestinian doctor working in the emergency room of a hospital in the Gaza Strip, met his wife and children who were injured when a bomb fell on their house and were transported there. While he was hurriedly treating his two children, whose faces were covered in blood and dirt, his wife said, “Please find (the youngest) Youssef. “My son’s face was covered in blood when he was rescued from the collapsed building,” he cried.
While searching for news about his son, Musa was led by fellow medical staff to the morgue and identified the body of six-year-old Youssef. Musa said on ITV, “I was working at the hospital when I heard the sound of a bomb exploding in the direction of my house. When I heard that there were casualties, I had an ominous feeling, but I ended up losing my son.”
In a video released by Qatar’s state-run Al Jazeera broadcast on this day, another doctor was carried out from Al Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip while being supported by his colleagues while crying. He saw the bodies of his father and brother, who had died in the airstrike, being brought to the trauma center where he worked.
According to the New York Times (NYT), a woman who was evacuated to the south after receiving treatment for pregnancy complications at a hospital in the northern Gaza Strip gave birth to twin sisters Nuha and Fatin in a collapsed hospital that day. However, her medicine and water are in short supply, so her family is searching the city for bottled water.
Palestinian health authorities in the Gaza Strip announced that at least 71 people died between the night of the 16th and the early morning of the 17th. Al Jazeera reported that many of the dead in the southern cities of Rafah, Khan Younis, and Deir al-Balah that were hit by airstrikes were people who had fled from the northern Gaza Strip following notification from the Israeli military.
