Gaza Hospitals on the Brink of Collapse: Doctors Forced to Choose Who Lives
Gaza Hospitals Collapse Amidst Lack of Aid Hospitals in Gaza are facing a catastrophic collapse due to a severe lack of medical supplies and aid. The situation has been worsening since March 2nd, leaving medical professionals struggling to cope with an overwhelming number of patients suffering from severe injuries, many caused by recent bombings. "Hospitals in Gaza are collapsing. No aid since March 2. Doctors forced to choose who lives." This stark statement reflects the crisis reported by Sahat English in a recent video interview with Dr. Victoria Rose, a plastic surgeon working in Gaza. Dr. Rose describes the harrowing reality: "I'm operating on around 10 people every day, and 50% of them are children." She further explains that the situation has deteriorated drastically since March, particularly between March and August, when the destruction of buildings became significantly more noticeable. Gaza is now largely reduced to rubble, with far more injuries than ever seen before. The lack of medical aid is exacerbating the crisis. Dr. Rose states, "We haven't had a shipment of medical aid to the Ministry of Health since March 2nd, and we are running low on a huge number of supplies." She and her colleagues are trying their best, but the lack of resources is pushing them to the point where they may be unable to continue operating. The video serves as a powerful testament to the urgent need for international aid to reach Gaza and prevent a complete collapse of the already strained healthcare system.
