As the Israeli military operation in Rafah enters its third week, Gaza’s last 24-hour hospital, the Kuwait Specialty Hospital, is on the brink of shutdown. With fuel and medical supplies critically low, staff are forced to ration care while desperate families plead for help. “We’re treating patients on the floor, using phone flashlights during surgeries,” a doctor told CGTN Stringer in a chilling interview. 🔦💔
Since May 6, over 1 million displaced residents have fled Rafah as aid deliveries stalled due to the capture of the Rafah crossing. The hospital, now overcrowded and under-resourced, faces impossible choices. A mother cradling her sick child described the scene: “No medicine, no clean water—how can we survive like this?” 🍼🚑
Humanitarian groups warn of a ‘catastrophic domino effect’ if the hospital closes, leaving thousands without access to life-saving care. With diplomatic efforts to reopen aid routes stalled, the world watches as Gaza’s healthcare system teeters on collapse. 🌍🆘
