00:00 As the health system in Gaza continues to worsen, patients and doctors abandon hospitals
00:04 out of fear of what happened before in Al Shifa Hospital.
00:07 A correspondent in Gaza, Nur Harassin, reports.
00:12 Here is the Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital.
00:14 After it was one of Gaza's busiest medical complex, now there is a smaller number of
00:20 people inside the hospital.
00:21 After hundreds of patients, doctors, nurses have evacuated the hospital, saying that they
00:27 don't want to make the mistake of the Al Shifa Hospital again, even though there were no
00:32 clear evacuation order for the Al Aqsa Hospital.
00:35 Let me just give you some information about this hospital.
00:38 This is one of Gaza's biggest and main hospitals.
00:41 It is so close to the Al Shifa Hospital complex, and it is the one and only hospital in middle
00:47 Gaza.
00:48 So if an Israeli attack happened in Deir el-Balah and Al Nusayrat refugee camp, Al Bureij, actually
00:53 the injuries should be transferred here.
00:56 However, there is rarely any ambulances.
00:59 There is only two ambulances inside the hospital.
01:02 There is a small number of doctors that cannot even take control of the whole hospital.
01:08 We're talking about hundreds of people, of patients who are still inside the hospital.
01:11 They did not manage to evacuate because of their situation.
01:16 They need wheelchairs.
01:18 There is no wheelchairs.
01:19 They need to be transferred to another hospital.
01:22 The hospitals in Rafah are totally complete and full.
01:25 So yes, it is a total chaos here in the Shahada Al Aqsa Hospital.
01:29 Actually no one knows what should they be doing, what's the next step they should take.
