Run a hospital under siege, missiles and disappearance
Dr. Mohammad Abu Salamiya, Director of Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex in Gaza.
Dr. Abu Salmia not only manages one of the most important hospitals in Gaza, which is repeatedly bombing, surrounded and raided by Israeli forces, but he says that he has been arrested, taken into custody And abused by Israel for monthsHis staff members and colleagues, such as the famous head of orthopedics, Dr. Adnan al-Bars died in 2024 under Israel’s prevention, allegedly torture.
But despite this, after returning to Gaza last year, Dr. Abu Salamiya remains at the top of the al-shifa, rebuilding it with ash in the city of Gaza, who has become the subscriber of the widely condemned condemnation of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israel has repeatedly refused to target the medical facilities of Gaza. But Israeli attacks on Gaza’s hospitals and Medics are so intense that a commission of the United Nations investigation Concluded at late 2024 That Israel has done war Crime against crime and crime against humanity, because it pursued “a concrete policy to destroy the health system of Gaza”.
Al-Shifa first focused on a brutal attack in the war when Israel accused Hamas of using it as a main military command and control center despite providing a little reliable evidence.
By the end of 2023, it was raided, surrounded and then evacuated. Dr. Abu Salmia was arrested along with other doctors and detained for seven months. On release, he talked about torture and misconduct behind bars.
“Nothing was recognizable when we returned. But we restored the emergency department, dialysis department, and open 300 beds, a 13-bed intensive care unit and operating room,” they say.
Since then, he described “having premature infants” a premature infants “around the complex as it was bombarded and as they were followed by Quadcopters. He now worries about the future because violence has not occurred despite a conversation for a truss in Egypt.
“It has become impossible during the last four days. We did not get any food, no drink, no bread. We survived some dates – employees and patients,” they say.
“We are shocked after Israel recently attacked Gaza City. Now, we are afraid that it will come into possession and destroy the hospital again.”
Premature
The 26-year-old Buthana al-Ansha, a mother of four children, has been displaced from North Gaza.
Butaina lived through unimaginable terror of being pregnant during a non-declared famine and gave birth to a hospital as it was bombed. This danger was so intense that a day after her emergency C-section in May, the hungry mother was stitched and forced to escape from the hospital with limited pain relief.
The United Nations has stated that due to Israel’s frequent bombing and full blockade on Gaza, which awakens the broad famine, a quarter of all pregnant women are malnourished with the risk of abortion. Images of weak children and children, their bones are shared, shared through their skin, shocking the world.
Buthanna says that she survived a rice plate and pasta scrap, which she shared with her children, but hunger destroyed her health and stopped her child’s development. When he was born, his weight was just two kilograms, which was less than half the average weight of a newborn in Britain.
“It was a moment full of fear, terror and anxiety,” she remembers, describing giving birth under the fire. As his child was given by an emergency C-section at Al-Awadh Hospital in North Gaza, an Israeli tank Shell killed the maternity and gynecology department. After minutes, a four -storey building next to the hospital was also targeted.
“The blasts fell into the hospital due to the explosion,” she says. “At that time, the doctor told us that we had to leave because the situation was very dangerous. The ambulances were overwhelmed.”
The major surgery barely recovered, he had to leave on foot: “I went like a child, who was suffering from severe pain, taking his first step.”
Butaina spent the day on the move, trying to find a tent or any kind of shelter. Sick and malnourished with a serious infection from surgery, she could not breastfeed and had no access to the baby’s formula.
Twenty days after the birth of her son, her mother – who was helping with the children – returned to Northern Gaza to try to find food. She never returned. The family still does not know what happened; Whether it was taken or killed.
Now, Buthana is desperate for a ceasefire: “We need a ceasefire as soon as possible. So that we can return to normal life and remove our children from war, hunger and thirst.”
Reporting and living in a war zone
35-year-old Fatima Abu Nadi Kuwaiti is a journalist working for the newspaper Al-Mujtama.
For almost two years, Fatima has not only reported war In Gaza, but lived it – to face many losses including killing her father.
As Amnesty InternationalIsraeli strike More than 240 journalists and media workers have been killed Since Israel started his heaviest bombing of Gaza in October 2023 following deadly attacks by Hamas militants in southern Israel.
The Global Rights Group said that any struggle in modern history has killed a large number of journalists, making Gaza the most deadly place on Earth for reporters.
Fatima began working for a French news agency, which suddenly dropped her and cut communication, while she was reporting on increasing malnutrition at Nasar Hospital in Madhya Gaza in November 2023, which was between chaos and a front famine.
Due to no salary and no break, she struggled to support 15 family members. Basic requirements, like baby diapers for her nephew, cost $ 100 (£ 74.50).
An Israeli air strike in the Northern Gaza Strip was killed exactly a month after his father was killed. At that time, Fatima and her family were displaced in Rafah. His father insisted on staying behind to protect his property.
He said that his body was so badly mutated by the strike that Medics saved the family from watching pictures.
“He was a part of my soul, and I lost it,” she says. “He supported me at the beginning of my guru, my education and my journalism career.”
Despite the difficulties, she remains a journalist: honoring her final request, made in her last phone call before her death, continuing her work and helping others.
But after avoiding so many displacement, one night she collapsed recently. She became uncontrollable until her mother found her and tried to calm her.
“These moments are beyond capacity, energy and patience,” she says. “I have stopped crying, but my heart still hurts.”
“Now we are on the second anniversary of the war. Our biggest hope is that it will end,” she says.
