Hospital overwhelmed after Wednesday’s attack on Rafah: Al Jazeera correspondent

More than 25 injured were brought to the Kuwait Specialty Hospital, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

It was really packed — we’re not only talking about the injured but also their relatives who came along with them either in the ambulance or who had carried the injured from the site of the attack. There was a very crowded scene inside the hospital, making it very difficult for the medical team to operate.

It ran out of space quickly so the injured were transferred to other hospitals in Rafah for better treatment. Those are larger hospitals, but they have the same problem. There are no medical supplies and no space in those hospitals. Most hospitals in Rafah have been turned into evacuation zones.
