Additional Information / Shotlist 00:00:04:00 - 00:00:06:21

The hospital was full of rubble,

00:00:06:21 - 00:00:08:24

many departments were damaged,

00:00:08:24 - 00:00:10:16

The four ceilings were damaged,

00:00:10:16 - 00:00:12:21

the corridors full of rubble,

00:00:12:21 - 00:00:16:09

so the main systems like electricity and oxygen system

00:00:16:09 - 00:00:17:24

were totally destroyed

00:00:17:24 - 00:00:21:16

the hospital was not functioning at all.

00:00:22:06 - 00:00:24:06

The destruction is huge.

00:00:24:06 - 00:00:26:21

As you see in this department,

00:00:26:21 - 00:00:28:01

there are no walls.

00:00:28:11 - 00:00:31:24

The rehabilitation started with removing tons of rubble

00:00:31:24 - 00:00:34:23

from the hospital and surrounding the hospital.

00:00:34:23 - 00:00:38:19

Plus, we started to do the rapid rehabilitation.

00:00:42:24 - 00:00:47:17

This hospital was the main specialised paediatric hospital

00:00:47:17 - 00:00:50:10

in the Gaza Strip, but now as the services

00:00:50:10 - 00:00:52:17

and healthcare system

00:00:52:17 - 00:00:54:14

have totally collapsed,

00:00:54:14 - 00:00:58:02

this hospital started to receive acute and chronic cases

00:00:58:02 - 00:00:59:13

at the same time.

00:00:59:13 - 00:01:03:16

As you see now, so many cases

00:01:03:16 - 00:01:06:06

are coming to the emergency department.

00:01:06:06 - 00:01:09:11

Since the reduction of military activity,

00:01:09:11 - 00:01:14:00

the population has started

00:01:14:00 - 00:01:16:20

to come back from the south to the north

00:01:16:20 - 00:01:20:28

and the number of children who are seeking medical services

00:01:20:28 - 00:01:22:04

is increasing.

00:01:22:04 - 00:01:24:15

As the winter season is here,

00:01:24:15 - 00:01:26:26

there is an influx of patients in the ER.

00:01:26:26 - 00:01:30:02

So, we are supporting the two main departments,

00:01:30:02 - 00:01:34:14

the ER (emergency room) and IPD (inpatient department) in collaboration with the MOH (Ministry of Health).

MSF provides technical and financial support to health workers at Al Rantisi hospital.

Following the rehabilitation, we are treating 300 children each day.

Now work like this is at risk.

As Israel is currently threatening to prevent MSF and other NGOs from working in Gaza.
