  • 0:00 - 0:02
    EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AT
    KAMAL ADWAN HOSPITAL
  • 0:02 - 0:04
    RENDERS IT NON-OPERATIONAL
  • 0:04 - 0:07
    In fact, I was there during
    the siege by the Israeli army,
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    I've been there since
    the start of the war.
  • 0:11 - 0:15
    The last day we were
    arrested by the army.
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    Before our arrest, we were
    gathered on the ground floor
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    as per the army's instructions.
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    Suddenly, they set fire to
    the operations room, the renal unit,
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    the maintenance unit, and the ER.
  • 0:26 - 0:31
    As they burned, we heard people
    shouting from the burning buildings!
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    Here, during the two-month siege
  • 0:35 - 0:39
    we perfomed almost 100
    surgical operations
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    —both medium and critical.
  • 0:41 - 0:45
    After this atrocious war
    on the Gaza strip
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    —especially North Gaza—
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    and the repeated bombing
    of Kamal Adwan Hospital
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    we are now back at
    Kamal Adwan Hospital
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    As you can see,
    the destruction is great.
  • 0:55 - 0:59
    And the reception, nursery,
    intensive care units,
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    maternity ward, and the entire
    surgical ward, have been burned.
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    This hospital has been completely
    destroyed and is now inoperable.
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    But God willing, we will return,
    rebuild, and restart
  • 1:10 - 1:15
    and this hospital will resume
    its medical services, God willing.
