🚨 URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of #KamalAdwan Hospital and MedGlobal’s lead physician in #Gaza, issues a new video statement today from inside the ICU where we can see many children on ventilators:
“We are facing a disaster if fuel is not delivered. We have 24 hours left.”
In northern Gaza, hospitals are under siege and on the brink of collapse. Several have been ordered to evacuate under threat, leaving patients and healthcare workers in grave danger.
