Footage shows chaotic, bloody scene at Nasser Hospital
Al Jazeera has received harrowing footage from Khan Younis’s Nasser Medical Complex, where hundreds of patients have arrived in the past day.
The video shows a severely overcrowded hospital room where patients are packed onto beds with about a dozen others – many bloodied, bandaged and connected to tubes – lying on the floor amid bloodstains and scattered pools of blood.
Medics rush among them, sometimes stepping over bodies and puddles of blood, appearing overwhelmed as they navigate the chaos and try to prioritise care.
We are not publishing the footage due to its graphic nature.
Today’s death toll rises to 83
At least 83 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza today, according to hospital sources cited by our colleagues on the ground. Among them are 58 aid seekers.
The airdrops on Gaza are a PR stunt, not a humanitarian operation
Last week, I saw aid dropping from the sky near my central Gaza neighbourhood of az-Zawayda. Neither I nor any of my neighbours had the courage to chase after it because we knew that the moment it hit the ground, a battle would erupt. If the aid survived the air, it wouldn’t survive the looters.
It is almost always the same scene. Gunfire breaks out the second the plane drops the boxes. Armed gangs are already waiting on the ground, ready to take the goods by force. Whoever gets there first, whoever shoots first, also walks away with the food. It is never those who need it the most.
Later, we would see those same “aid boxes” in the market in Deir el-Balah, their contents up for sale at exorbitant prices.
