“It is impossible under any circumstances to continue this work (taking care of the sick – ed.),” said the general director of the Shifa hospital, Mohammad Abu Selim. “The sick are now on the street. Wounded on the streets. We can no longer find a single bed for them.”

With limited resources, clinics understaffed, and ambulances taking hours to bring victims to hospitals as airstrikes have destroyed infrastructure, it’s total chaos.

“We know that if the case is critical, he simply cannot survive,” said Khalil Abu Yehia, a 28-year-old teacher whose home was bombed in airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp on Thursday.

As the Shati refugee camp, north of Gaza City along the Mediterranean coast, came under heavy shelling, a new wave of wounded entered the hospital: young children with bruises and bandages, men with homemade bandages, girls, young women with blood on their faces . . As the intensive care unit was full, some lay in the hospital’s corridors, pressed against the walls to clear aisles for staff and stretchers.

“I have been to many places and seen horrors and bombings. But not at this level of madness,” said local photojournalist Attia Darwish, 36, as she watched the wounded return to the hospital.
