DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The only thing worse than the screams of a patient undergoing surgery without enough anesthesia are the terror-stricken faces of those awaiting their turn, a 51-year-old orthopedic surgeon says.
Hospitals in the Gaza Strip are nearing collapse under the Israeli blockade that cut power and deliveries of food and other necessities to the territory. They lack clean water. They are running out of basic items for easing pain and preventing infections. Fuel for their generators is dwindling.
“We have a shortage of everything, and we are dealing with very complex surgeries,” Abed, who works with Doctors Without Borders, told The Associated Press from Al Quds Hospital. The medical center is still treating hundreds of patients in defiance of an evacuation order the Israeli military gave Friday.
“These people are all terrified, and so am I,” the surgeon said. “But there is no way we’ll evacuate.”
Shifa Hospital — with a maximum capacity of 700 people — is treating 5,000 people, general director Mohammed Abu Selmia says. Lines of patients, some in critical condition, snake out of operating rooms. The wounded lie on floors or on gurneys sometimes stained with the blood of previous patients. Doctors operate in crowded corridors filled with moans.
The scenes — infants arriving alone to intensive care because no one else in their family survived, patients awake and grimacing in pain during surgeries — have traumatized Abed into numbness.
But what still pains him is having to choose which patients to prioritize.
“You have to decide,” he said. “Because you know that many will not make it.”

Stop killing Jews and the pain will stop.
They’ll have much better care when they relocate to Qatar.
No anesthesia, no problem. Just hit them on the head with a club.
But Allah is FUBAR!
They should not have spent their money on killing Jews.
Stop blowing up your own hospitals morons.
No?
Lucky.
They have 0bama Care!
Whose side are the Palestinians on? Why do they allow Hamas free access to their territories? Has their government asked for international aid to get Hamas out of their country? Have they publicly condemned Hamas?
IIRC——ISRAEL withdrew completely in 2005 from “Palestine/GAZA”.
They have continued to send in water-—fuel—food, etc every day....for supplies to evil persons.
EU gave GAZA $10 M-—TWICE-—to build water pipelines. HAMAS DUG UP THOSE PIPELINES & made CRUDE ROCKETS WITH THEM. CEMENT TO BUILD BUILDINGS WAS TAKEN INTO GAZA. IT AS USED TO BUILD TUNNELS UNDER THE SCHOOLS & HOSPITALS.
THERE IS NO “CIVIL” in their “CIVILIZATION”. NONE.
ISRAELI’s were foolish enough to allow over 20,000 “workers with “work visas” to come & go EVERY day. Turns out those ‘workers’ were spies for every detail down to “WHO HAS DOGS”, and house layouts, etc. THAT is why they were so successful on 10=7—2 weeks ago today.
“Palestine was offered a number of plans in the past 40 years. ARAFAT & ABBAS have rejected EVERYTHING. THE “population” voted for HAMAS TO REPRESENT THEM by over 80%.
THEY COULD HAVE CHANGED ALL OF THIS YEARS AGO.
MUSLIM TEACHINGS say that either you are Muslim-—or they will kill you.
IF the LAST 2 on earth are 1 MUSLIM & 1 “infidel”-—THE MUSLIM will kill the “infidel” & then have NO ONE to create food or shelter for the Muslim.
They are following teachings that are downright BIZARRE and they DO NOT WANT PEACE-—NOT AT ALL—NOT AT ANY PRICE. THEY WANT THE ENTIRE WORLD TO BE MUSLIM.
WE NEED ANOTHER ROUND OF THE CRUSADES.
WORST PART OF ALL-—TOO MANY NATIONS HAVE ALLOWED MUSLIMS TO INFILTRATE-—INCLUDING OBAMA.
DETROIT is GAZA/USA.
MINNEAPOLIS IS MOGADISHU/ GAZA USA.
I HOPE ISRAEL LEVELS the ground & all of Hamas. The Hamas “Leaders” do NOT even live there——THEY LIVE IN QATAR.
HOPEFULLY, Mossad can clean out those at the top—including inside IRAN.
BIDEN is so demented that this is happening now-—a new PRES WILL BE ALOT STRONGER.
Is that how they stopped the murderous IRA terror back in the 70s? Did they resort to leveling Irish Catholic neighborhoods and wiping out guilty Irish Catholic school children?
NO NO NO-—THEY VOTED FOR HAMAS TO BE THEIR GOVERNMENT BY OVER 80%.
I HAVE ZERO SYMPATHY
Ass Press.
Not to mention the dozens of medical facilities that were nuked too.
🙏🇮🇱👍
AP=Always Palestinian.
Hamas collaborators.
Pro tip : Don’t invade or attack your host country, and stop killing everyone.
Indeed. The “non-combatants” have my sympathies but I am quite confident that most, if not all of those “non-combatants” cheered, sang songs of praises to Allah, and were generally quite pleased when they heard the details of Hamas’ terrorist attack against the Jews.
So, how are they any different than the civilians that we bombed in Germany and Japan during WW2? Those non-combatants were equally supportive of the atrocities their militaries committed against other civilians, and they paid the price for it.
The Associated Press is the propaganda wing of the US democrat party.
Trust NOTHING that the AP writes.
Can’t believe any of this.
May have some truth, may have none, but we know they print narrative propaganda that can’t be believed.
