00:00 This is simply insane.
00:03 It is unbelievable.
00:04 It is unacceptable.
00:06 You can't expect more than 1,200,000 Palestinians who live in Gaza and the north to be evacuated
00:14 to the south.
00:15 The question is now, how are they going to be evacuated?
00:20 And where are they going to be evacuated?
00:22 There's no transportation in Gaza.
00:24 There is complete destruction of the infrastructure and roads.
00:28 So people now under the horror of facing the death at any second or at any moment.
00:35 This is simply is horrifying.
00:38 People now feel the horror.
00:40 They don't know what to do or where to go or what.
00:45 It's simply insane.
00:47 We have witnessing Palestinians, hundreds or thousands of people, who are trying to
00:52 approach us, either to our EMS center or even to the hospitals, trying to find a way to
00:58 escape if someone could help them to be evacuated.
01:02 We are the lead emergency medical service provider in Gaza.
01:06 We are handling the emergency medical services in Gaza.
01:11 We are, since the beginning of the escalation and for the seventh day in a row, we have
01:17 been working around the clock to deal with the increasing number of casualties.
01:22 Our EMTs, our paramedics, they haven't left the EMS center up to this moment, either to
01:30 see their families or whatsoever.
01:33 So it's just heartbreaking.
01:35 Now we don't know, Palestinians don't know what to do or where to go.
01:40 Even us, we as a humanitarian organization, our main office is in Gaza.
01:47 Our EMS center is in Gaza.
01:49 We have two hospitals.
01:51 Now the question is, how are we going to evacuate the patients, too?
01:57 And this is the same case applies to other hospitals, a Shebaa Hospital, a major hospital
02:03 in Gaza.
02:04 It is also in the same area that it has been warned to be evacuated.
02:10 How are you going to evacuate the injured people and the patients and even up to more
02:15 than one million Palestinians?
02:17 So what are your concerns if there is some major operation into northern Gaza tomorrow?
02:28 My concern is, I don't know, like we already living under a catastrophic situation.
02:34 So it's going to be a miscarriage, like thousands, thousands of other Palestinians will be killed
02:40 if that's the case is going to be happened, because I'm telling from now, people don't
02:46 know how to escape.
02:48 They don't have anyone to evacuate them or escape them.
02:53 International organizations have evacuated their employees, but still people are now
02:59 left alone, feel vulnerable, don't know how to go.
03:03 Nobody have the capacity to evacuate more than one million people.
03:08 And Nibal Fasak, what are the plans with your employees over the next 15 hours before this
03:14 deadline comes?
03:18 We are under an urgent situation.
03:21 We have been conducting emergency meeting since the morning, discussing the ways to
03:27 deal with the situation.
03:29 Up to now, we didn't take a decision regarding our work.
03:34 As I mentioned, our major EMS center is in Gaza.
03:38 We have two hospitals in Gaza.
03:40 We are now facing the challenge of how we're going to evacuate our staff or even the patients
03:51 we have.
03:52 The situation is simply catastrophic.
03:55 We are devastated.
03:58 As you mentioned also, we have lost four paramedics up to now, two days ago, and in less than
04:06 half an hour, we have lost two of our paramedics.
04:09 We don't want to have the loss of other paramedics too.
04:16 And even we don't want to see civilians are being killed, either women or children or
04:21 civilian.
04:22 So the situation is so much hard, is so much difficult.
04:27 We hope not to lose more people or more medical workers or paramedics.
04:35 As I highlighted, we have lost four paramedics who were intentionally targeted while they
04:41 were conducting their humanitarian role.
04:44 That's why we call on the international community to ensure the protection of healthcare worker.
04:49 This is unacceptable.
04:50 In all world, healthcare workers should be protected.
04:56 Although our ambulance has the emblem on top of it, it was targeted intentionally.
05:02 There's no way that Israeli occupation forces don't recognize the emblem that is put on
05:09 top of the ambulance and also from the all sides.
05:14 So this is intentional attack.
05:16 We have recorded up to 18 different violations against our medical missions in Gaza.
05:23 The situation is horrific, everything is a target for Israeli occupation forces.
05:30 Residential buildings, homes, infrastructure, hospitals, medical facilities, ambulances,
05:36 paramedics, everything is a target for Israeli bombardments and Israeli airstrike.
