Patients left without treatment as Rafah hospitals shut down
An estimated 80,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah and thousands more are attempting to leave as Israel’s ground invasion ramps up. | Patients and staff are being forced out of hospitals across Rafah as Israel’s attacks on the city intensify, leaving many sick and wounded Palestinians with no way to be treated.
💬 “We have no beds, no hospitals to refer [people to], especially for critical patients,” Palestinian doctor Mohammed Zaqout said. “Al-Najjar Hospital is out of service. And the Kuwaiti Hospital [in Rafah] is just for trauma and emergency,” he added.
