Hassan Khalaf, director of al-Wafa Hospital in Gaza, has spoken to Al Jazeera shortly after separate attacks targeted the vicinity of several other medical facilities in the enclave.
He said there had also been “many bombardments” around his hospital but no damage so far. Still, he warned that the severe shortage of fuel was a major problem affecting both the running of the hospital and the transportation of patients and staff.
“It is impossible to evacuate the hospital; there are no places to go anyway, no safe place in Gaza. They are bombarding many hospitals, they are bombarding ambulances, they are even bombarding children’s schools under the flag of the United Nations,” said Khalaf.
“My plan is to continue with the minimum available services hoping that there will be an international intervention to provide the health sector with the fuel, the medical supplies and whatever else we need because we have now reached a very critical situation.”
