All ICU patients in al-Shifa dead amid Israeli siege,’ Gaza hospital’s director tells Al Jazeera

New Delhi: All patients in the intensive care unit of Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital have died, its director told Al Jazeera Friday, on the third day of Israel’s siege of the enclave’s largest medical facility.

The hospital’s director, Muhammed Abu Salmiya, said there were 7,000 people in the hospital — patients, medical staff and those taking shelter — and that doctors were still working to help patients.

Salmiya said the hospital had become a “big prison” and a “mass grave” for all those inside.

“We are left with nothing, no power, no food, no water. with every passing minute, we are losing a life. Overnight we lost 22 persons, [and] for the past three days the hospital has been kept under siege,” Salmiya was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera.

I keep asking when is are the leaders of the western world going to stop this because
until they do, the Israeli government will just keep killing Palestinians or just let them die
of their injuries and starvation.

I heard yesterday that the IDF has a short-term plan and a long-term plan for the assault,
knowing they might be stopped.
