Director General of Al-Shifa Medical Complex Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya said that all those inside the hospital are being annihilated affirming that martyrs fall every single minute.
In comments he made to Al Jazeera TV Channel Dr. Abu Salmiya said the conditions in the hospital are catastrophic where there is nothing left there but death and corpses as the Israeli army is still besieging the hospital.
Dr. Abu Salmiya affirmed that the Israeli soldiers have blocked entry to the hospital’s central pharmacy and have been roaming freely inside the medical complex which indicates that there is no resistance in it.
He stressed that what has been allowed into the hospital of water and food supplies does not suffice more than 200 people while there are about 650 injured people along with thousands of displaced and medical personnel inside the complex.
“We are being exterminated. Every passing day puts premature babies at greater risk of death. Yet we have been doing our best to save their lives” the hospital’s director said.
He pointed out that the incubators brought by the Israeli occupation forces have no value without electricity stressing that they are of less quality than those already available at the hospital.
“Martyrs’ bodies are buried in a graveyard that has been dug beneath the hospital as our demands for the Israeli army to bring in fuel and to secure a safe exit for the wounded were declined” he added.
The hospital has been turned into a big prison where patients and the displaced are subjected to genocide he said.
The conditions of the patients and the injured have been worsening because of lack of medications. The death toll has been daily escalating because of the failure to save the lives of the injured.
“To have all those people die in front of the whole world is definitely a war crime” he said pointing to the Israeli army’s fabricated lies in which it claimed the presence of weapons in Al-Shifa hospital.
For its part the Hamas Movement said that Israel was committing a genocide in the Al-Shifa hospital with American green light.
Hamas in a statement on Friday held US President Joe Biden and his administration responsible for the crime of ethnic cleansing practiced by the Israeli occupation forces in the hospital and for all the brutal crimes committed by those forces against women children and innocent civilians in all areas of the Gaza Strip.
