Speaking from Nasser Hospital, Palestinian physician Ahmed Al-Farra has said medical staff at the health facility are consistently forced to choose which patient’s life to prioritise amid the ongoing Israeli attacks and lack of resources, Al Jazeera reports.

“My doctor in the paediatric ICU asked me what to do in this situation. I told her, please try to prioritise those with the best chance of survival,” he noted. “If someone can survive, we try to help them. For others, we simply can’t do anything.”

Al-Farra also condemned the use of hunger as the “worst weapon” against Palestinians. “When we are talking about malnutrition, we are talking about shutdown of the body’s mechanisms. Children will be unable to survive.”
