#Al-Nasr hospital babies

Gaza genocide

NEVER FORGET

[silicacid]

IDF shelled a hospital, threatened medical officials inside demanding they evacuate, then called the hospital and promised they’d send an ambulance for ICU babies so the doctors and nurses left and the IDF just… never sent the ambulance

In public statements and interviews, several medical staff and health officials from Al-Nasr said they had to hurriedly evacuate the hospital on November 10, under the direction of Israeli forces. Medical staff described having to leave young children behind in the ICU because they had no means to safely move them. A doctor associated with the hospital, who did not want to be named, told CNN that two of the children – a two-year-old and a nine-month-old baby – had died shortly before the evacuation but that three children were left alive still connected to respirators. One of those left alive was two months old. Several of the infants on the ICU had been suffering from genetic disorders, according to the doctor.

Another from November 10 showed an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tank outside Al-Nasr, indicating the IDF was operating in the area. Another video from the same date showed civilians holding up makeshift white flags attempting to flee the hospital amid gunfire, then being forced to run back inside. It is not possible to tell from the video who is shooting. But, in an audio recording of a conversation between a senior official at Al-Rantisi hospital and an officer from COGAT, which coordinates the Israeli government’s activities in the Palestinian territories and Gaza, it appears Israeli forces instructed hospital patients and staff to evacuate. In the recording, released by the IDF on November 11, the Israeli officer assures the hospital official that ambulances will be arranged. The hospital official tells the COGAT officer that ambulances cannot reach the hospital, and the officer replies: “I’ll arrange coordination with the primary aid center. Don’t worry, I’m near the army, it will be okay.” “Will the ambulances take the patients and the medical staff?” the hospital official asks. “No problem,” the COGAT officer responds, in the recording. The hospital official then confirms that the COGAT officer is aware that people will be evacuating both Al-Nasr and Al-Rantisi hospitals, and the COGAT officer says “yes, yes.” But hospital officials say the ambulances never arrived.

Doctors in Rafah, the southernmost part of Gaza where over 1 million displaced Palestinians have fled, are raising alarm over the impact Israel’s expected military escalation will have on 25 preterm babies in incubators at Emirate Maternity Hospital. Glia, a medical aid group that currently has eight personnel at Emirate, said in a dispatch shared with Jezebel on Monday that no fuel has entered Gaza since May 6; the hospial has enough fuel for about 48 hours until its reserves run out. (On May 9, the United Nations said that no aid or fuel had been able to enter Gaza from Rafah since Israeli forces took control of the border crossing last week.) “If fuel does not enter immediately, the lights will turn off. Generators will stop running. Incubators will fail. Babies will die,” said Dr. Dorotea Gucciardo, a doctor with Glia currently stationed at Emirate. The 25 babies “are at immediate risk if these incubators are shut off.” Al Jazeera reported that, as of early Monday, Israeli forces ordered the medical staff at Kuwaiti Hospital, also in Rafah, to evacuate, as they continue to increase their attacks on the area. Last week, a UNICEF spokesperson said there is “nowhere safe on the Gaza strip to go to,” and that “Rafah is a city of children,” with 600,000 kids “caught in the crosshairs” of war. Since the start of Israel’s assault on Gaza in October, the United Nations estimates that over 14,500 children have been killed; more than 35,000 Palestinians of all ages have died due to Israeli bombs and gunfire. The full scale of casualties, including death from malnutrition and illness, is not yet known. Dr. Tarek Loubani, the head of Glia’s medical programs, and Gucciardo pleaded with the international community to care about the fate of the preterm babies being kept alive by incubators (and thus, fuel.) In a statement to Jezebel, Loubani referenced four incubated babies at al-Nasr Children’s Hospital who were found dead and decomposing (“eaten by worms [and] blackened by mold,” according to the Washington Post) in December, after Israel forced hospital staff to flee, assuring them the babies would be cared for. “The global community cannot allow this to happen again,” Gucciardo said.

Israel-Palestine war: Gaza doctors seized by Israel say they were used as 'human shields'

A doctor who worked at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza during the Israeli siege and bombardment of the complex has described how Israeli troops used them as “hostages” as they invaded the hospital, and later detained the head of the hospital, along with more than 20 other medical personnel from Gaza, in what one Palestinian medic called a “war on hospitals”.

Following weeks of intense bombardment of the largest medical complex in the northern Gaza Strip, the Israeli military approved an evacuation request for the staff and patients to the southern enclave, submitted in coordination with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations.

When a UN-led convoy of ambulances arrived at a checkpoint set up by Israeli forces on the road connecting the northern Gaza Strip to southern areas, they were stopped, searched, and interrogated for seven hours, before the head of al-Shifa medical complex, Dr Mohammed Abu Silmiya, was detained along with around five other doctors.

Even before evacuation, Abu Silmiya was held in custody and interrogated twice by Israeli officers inside the al-Shifa Hospital.

Marwan Abu Saada, a doctor who was interrogated with him, spoke to Middle East Eye about the "horrifying hours" when Israeli soldiers held them and used them as human shields inside the hospital.

"For several days, Israeli aircraft kept bombing different buildings and departments of the hospital. Quadcopters were shooting directly at people, including patients and displaced persons. People were killed inside the hospital," Abu Saada, the head of the surgery department at al-Shifa Hospital, said.

"They besieged the hospital for five days before they stormed its departments. They kept us [in certain areas] and threatened us [with getting targeted].

"When they stormed the ground stores, they used us [doctors] as human shields to enter and search them. They found the technical maintenance employees there and interrogated them, before they detained them."

While moving from one department to another and searching the different offices and rooms of the hospital, Israeli forces took several doctors with them.

"We felt that we were hostages, used to [protect] Israeli soldiers. They took me and Dr Abu Silmiya and interrogated us. They did not use violence with me or Dr Abu Silmiya. But they interrogated Dr Abu Silmiya twice," Abu Saada continued.

The doctor said Israeli forces questioned him and Abu Silmiya about the presence of any Hamas members or hostages in the hospital's offices or if there was any activity being conducted by Hamas in al-Shifa.

"We said no because we have never seen any Hamas members there. They besieged us in the hospital for five days, and on the eve of the truce, I returned home, and patients and some medical staff members were evacuated to the south," Abu Saada said

'He refused to leave the hospital'

On 22 November, the Palestinian health ministry said it was informed by the UN that they had coordinated with the WHO to evacuate the patients from the al-Shifa Medical Complex and move them to southern areas.

In a statement released by the ministry on the following day, its spokesperson, Ashraf al-Qudra, condemned the detention of medical staff members as they were evacuating the city, and declared a "complete halt of coordination with the WHO regarding the evacuation of the rest of the wounded and medical staff until [they] submit a report clarifying what had happened, and [until] the release of the detainees".

"We were surprised that the convoy was stopped at the occupation checkpoint that separates the northern Gaza Strip from the south for seven hours," the statement read.

"The patients, their companions, and the medical staff that accompanied them were met with excessive force by Israeli occupation forces. They ended up detaining a number of them, including the head of the al-Shifa medical complex, Dr Mohammed Abu Silmiya."

According to Qudra, Abu Silmiya had not left the hospital or seen his family since the beginning of the war.

"He refused to leave the hospital until the last patient [was evacuated]," he said in another statement.

On Monday, the Gaza Government Media office said the Israeli authorities had extended Abu Silimiya's detention for another 45 days for further interrogation.

'Doctors directly killed'

On the day after the detention campaign, Israeli forces bombed the power generators of the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.

For weeks, the hospital has been targeted by aerial and artillery shells that have devastated large parts of its departments and resulted in the killing and wounding of hundreds of patients, displaced people, and healthcare professionals.

Fadel Naim, a doctor who had witnessed the attacks, said Israeli quadcopters killed patients and displaced people inside the hospital.

"The quadcopters were hovering at low altitudes over the heads of people inside the [courtyards] of the hospital. There was heavy shooting on people," the gynaecologist and the dean of the faculty of medicine at the Islamic University of Gaza told MEE.

"Many doctors and healthcare professionals have been interrogated and detained.

"Every Palestinian is subject to detention, but they detain doctors in particular thinking that they would get information that might prove their allegations about the resistance. They interrogate them to get information and details about other people."

Naim said that since the beginning of the attack, he had witnessed or heard of many doctors getting killed or wounded.

"Many of our colleagues were directly killed. Every day, we hear the name of another doctor who was killed. Many of the doctors who were once our students were also killed or detained," he said.

'This war revealed everything'

In the al-Awda hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, Adnan Radi, an obstetrician and gynaecologist, said Israel had "declared a war on hospitals in the strip".

"I call this the war on hospitals - they wanted to launch this war on medical staff. But all the allegations of the occupation were proven false after they stormed and searched al-Shifa and the Indonesian hospitals," Radi told MEE.

"I swear to God that I have never seen one armed person inside any of the hospitals.

"We were attacked and the hospital was directly bombed. We paid a high price for insisting on continuing our work despite the persistent attacks, we lost colleagues, doctors, and patients.

"The hospital was attacked although we did not have anyone affiliated with [Palestinian factions] inside, we did not even have displaced people taking refuge at the hospital like other hospitals, we only had patients, their companions, and healthcare professionals."

Radi, whose home in the al-Rimal neighbourhood in the centre of Gaza City was destroyed by the attacks, said that he could not leave the hospital and evacuate to the southern areas of the strip, even during the pause in fighting.

Al-Awda Hospital is currently the only place in the northern areas of the strip providing healthcare services to pregnant women, he explained.

"We have around 5,000 birth deliveries each month, and women from across different areas of Gaza City and other northern areas of the strip suffer in order to reach the hospital. I have been working in the hospital nonstop for 48 days and the situation is more than bleak," he said.

"We cannot leave the hospital. There are around 55,000 pregnant women in Gaza who need constant medical care, and we are the only ones currently providing these services after all other hospitals stopped working."

According to Radi, four doctors, two patients, and two patient companions were killed in a direct Israeli bombardment of the hospital's departments.

"This is a revealing war. It revealed the falsity of the world's values, their propaganda talking about human rights and women's rights and their false speeches about the protection of medical staff and hospitals," he said.

"This war revealed everything."

At least 26 healthcare professionals from Gaza are currently detained by Israel, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

The pictures of premature infants at al-Shifa hospital wrapped in foil and blankets after their incubators lost power during the siege. The babies at al-Nasr hospital whose bodies were found decomposing on hospital beds after a forced evacuation. The emaciated figure and wide eyes of Yazan al-Kafarna, a Palestinian child with cerebral palsy who died of hunger and malnutrition in Rafah. And just as haunting, the pictures of life in Gaza before October 7 that capture just how much has been lost: stretches of highway running along the beach at sunset, beautiful buildings lit up at night, couples dancing, libraries, cafés, frescoes, kitchen interiors, people smiling in restaurants, flowers, trees. “The memories brought up on your smartphone return you for a moment to your past life, to its atmosphere of ease and the embrace of friends,” writes Sarah Aziza’s cousin Nabil S. in a letter from Gaza, published in Mizna, describing what it’s like to look at photos from before the bombardment. “It is as if this forgotten life now presses itself upon us against our will — for these pictures are all that remain of our family and loved ones. Only photos, for us to weep and lament over, for we locked the doors tightly when we left our homes. We left with the keys in our hands.” We are not used to this — not to the gruesomeness, the ceaselessness, the direct address. Thirteen-year-old Nadin Abdullatif asks the camera in English, “Does no one care about the two million people here in Gaza? Does no one care about us? I don’t know. What is happening here? What has happened to the world? I’m suffering, and every other child is suffering. So please, notice us!” Speaking with a quivering voice over footage of people fleeing al-Shifa, Yara Eid begs, “Guys, please. Let’s stop this now. Like talk about it, share. I don’t know. Call — anyone. Try to do something. I never imagined this would happen, this is another Nakba.” Motaz Azaiza posts on X and Instagram, “You are all useless. Without shame watching us get killed one by one. Will wait my turn to be killed by Israel. And believe me you are gonna do nothing.” People in the comments say don’t give up, we need you, the world sees you, we are trying to speak up, but it’s true, we are useless, we’re ashamed of ourselves, God forgive us, we’ve failed you. This is what images on social media can do — activate an intense, genuine parasocial attachment, the same kind of attachment we feel toward strangers online who invite us to follow their motherhood journeys, their sobriety journeys, their cancer journeys. Nobody expected to follow someone’s genocide journey, their famine journey. Yet here we are.

dude, the pro-israel shit is wild. you care about babies? how many premature babies died in al-Nasr thanks to israel's assault on a literal hospital? your scale of harm here is completely skewed, israeli forces have straight up murdered more children than were ever kidnapped by hamas.

Again, the fact that you think a post discussing the atrocities of Hamas is somehow pro-Israel propaganda says a lot about you and your inability to reckon with the fact that Hamas is an antisemitic terrorist organization that has been killing Israelis and destroying the lives of Palestinians, using them as human shields and as suicide bombers against their will, for the past 37 years since its founding in 1987.

I also reblogged an article around the same time condemning Netanyahu specifically because his response to all of this has been profoundly unhelpful and definitely does not seem centered around getting the hostages back.

Two things can be true at once:

Hamas is an antisemitic terrorist organization founded solely to commit violence against Israel. Hamas stole power in Gaza and refuses to let Palestinians vote for new leaders. Hamas is not justified and was never justified and will never be justified. Hamas uses Palestinian freedom as an excuse to commit atrocities against Israelis.

The government of Israel has not done enough over the past few decades to cooperate with Palestinians, and the current right-wing administration has used Oct 7th as an excuse to execute ethnic cleansing in Gaza. The IDF and the government of Israel are not innocent in this conflict by any means.

But that child that Hamas kidnapped was innocent. Hamas was wrong for kidnapping him.

I blame Hamas for what is happening in Gaza right now, just as I blame Netanyahu.

FYI: IOF forced medical staff to flee Al-Nasr Children's Hospital at gunpoint on Nov 11th, leaving all their patients behind, including NICU babies. Israel then refused to release them. The babies were discovered to have starved to death and their corpses decomposing by the reporters from Al Mashhad during the truce. (Babies bodies have been blurred in footage.)

(Al-Shifa hospital removed their pre-emie babies from the incubators once they lost power and attempted to keep them warm with hot water and wraps. This is also probably why the Al Nasr babies had been placed on adult beds before evacuation. Five of Al-Shifa Hospital's NICU babies died during the siege, but the rest were evacuated to Egypt, probably because of International media attention concentrated on them for several days. The number of the premature babies left to die at Al Nasr is not yet known.)

I am unsure how to speak about Palestine. People keep telling me they fired first and my google searches are very bad

Hey, glad you sent in this ask! People who claim that Palestine initiated the firing view October 7th as an isolated event, when we cannot treat it as such. Oct 7 comes as a response to a 75 year colonization. Just like Hamas was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada- a series of civilian protests, where Palestinians threw stones at soldiers, and were met by a disproportionate and liberal use of force as described by a Humans Rights Watch report.

How could Palestine fire first when Hamas was created in direct response to the displacement and colonization that Palestinians faced? Hamas wouldn't have existed if Israel didn't murder, unlawfully imprison, torture and displace Palestinians. Oct 7 wasn't an isolate incident, every action implicates a reaction and every occupation leads to a resistance.

The west claims that Israel has a right to defend itself, leading in two months alone to the mass and brutal murder of 16.000+ civilians. But Palestine cannot defend itself against its colonizers (Just like Ukraine has done for example against Russia, a resistance backed by the American and European powers alike?)

I urge you to read about all the massacres Israel committed against Palestinians prior to Oct 7, so you'd understand better that Palestine did not fire first. Israel did not even exist prior to 1948 for Palestine to attack it.

And, let's be honest for a second. If someone comes into your home, forces you out of it, destroys it, murders everyone you know, denies you of your most basic rights, unlawfully imprisons you, tortures you physically and psychologically, destroys your land and hinders your agriculture and destroys your libraries and erases your culture, would you not resist? Would you stay silent? Of course not, and Palestinians shouldn't be dehumanized and killed for it.

Now for your second point, I'm glad you brought that up because western media is very very biased. To give you some examples, here is a Washington Post headline about four premature babies that died, decomposing on their hospital beds in Al-Nasr Hospital, in northern Gaza. They were left in the prenatal care after Israel threatened doctors to bomb the hospital if they didn't evacuate it.

"Four fragiles lives found ended"

Who ended them? Why were they in that situation to begin with? Who was behind their tragic murder? The journalist behind this post deliberately chose this title to avoid pointing the blame to Israel. In fact, the entire article doesn't directly nor clearly state the reason behind this slow and torturous death. When those four babies would not have died IF Israel didn't threaten to bomb their hospital, forcing everyone to evacuate.

We as journalists learn that the 5Ws are the essential key elements that form the basis of any article : who? where? when? what? how/why? Israel should be clearly denounced as the one responsible of those deaths, especially considering that it's a war crime underneath the Geneva convention.

Let's take another example. Pay attention to elusive langage and the way media skirts around words, using euphemisms to redirect the blame. Palestinians "die"- as if passing away due to natural causes, as if there wasn't a clear intent to murder them. Whereas Israelis are "killed"- deliberately targeted. This double standard already shows you that the media you're reading from is heavily biased.

We journalists also learn that headlines are very very important, especially on social media where most people get their information strictly by reading the headlines and sharing it, without bothering to check the entirety of the article. Now, here's an example of a misleading headline by BBC.

At first read this looks like confirmed accounts of rape. Anyone who reads it would think that it has been proven irrevocably, but let's look more into the article :

None of the rape accusations were verified, neither by the police or the journalists of BBC. All of these are alleged claims that have no tangible backing, and yet they were presented as factual in the headline, the most important part of any article that catches the attention of readers. By formulating the headline as such, BBC pre-establishes the premise that Hamas did rape women and that it has been proven. This is the information that most people would retain as they wouldn't bother reading the article. This is how propaganda starts and how false news are shared widely (remember the story of the 40 beheaded babies debunked by the IDF itself?)

Always look out for the langage and terminology the media uses. It is not coincidental, it is deliberate and it serves the interests/editorial line of the media. And you can speak up about Palestine by denouncing the genocide they're facing. If you can read about 16.000+ deaths, most of which are children, if you can see images of hospitals, refugee camps, schools, ambulances, houses, "safe routes" bombed by Israel and still be unsure of your stance, then i don't know what to tell you.

“We had to leave the patients behind. In the ICU of Nasr Children’s Hospital, we had to leave the patients in their beds…We left surrounded by tanks. We couldn’t take any of the patients with us.”

#ICRC committed to transport these NICU babies to another hospital or any safe place upon evacuation of the Hospital. #ICRC left those children there to die in collaboration with IOF which made the hospital a military occupied place!

During the truce,...Parents returned to the hospital today to find their babies dead & decomposed in their cots.

27-11-2023

The Israeli military forced families to evacuate Al Nasr Hospital, leaving behind their premature babies in the intensive care unit. Israel refused to release the babies. The decomposed bodies of those babies have been found during this truce.

"Shocking scenes in this hospital, seeing babies which the Israeli soldiers refused to evacuate from this unit. According to eyewitness accounts, parents were forced to say goodbye, and leave their children to die in their beds in the intensive care unit in al Nasr Children's Hospital. To reiterate: the Israeli army forbid these children to be evacuated, or for anyone to help evacuate them from the hospital."

‘Patients are dying’: What we know about Gaza hospitals under Israeli siege : They have now all stopped functioning. The al-Nasr Children’s Hospital and al-Rantisi Specialised Hospital for Children can no longer function without access to medical aid. They are also under Israeli fire. It remains unclear what has happened to the 30 children who remain at al-Nasr Hospital. (10-11-2023)

www.aljazeera.com

This is an urgent message: northern Gaza’s hospitals are in danger of imminent, full-scale Israeli military attacks. Please help us take action to protect them. 

Early Friday morning, the grounds of Shifa Hospital were targeted by an Israeli airstrike.  The Nasser Hospital has also been targeted. Attacks on Rantisi children’s hospital have caused fires, while bombardment around the Indonesian Hospital has reportedly injured displaced people sheltering in the grounds. 

These vital facilities are filled with medical staff treating thousands of wounded civilians. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering in the grounds, forced from their homes, hiding from Israeli bombs. 

Any attack on these hospitals would be devastating and lead to the deaths of countless innocent civilians, including children and medical staff. (map.org.uk)

The Israeli military left five Palestinian babies to die in their small beds at al-Nasr Pediatric Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip after soldiers raided it nearly three weeks ago. The tiny infants died starving, cold and alone. Their bodies decomposed. They were still connected to ventilation and intravenous tubes.
