On Monday 10 May, Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) started supporting the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Jerusalem to assess and stabilize hundreds of Palestinians injured by the Israeli police. Patients received at the PRCS trauma stabilization point told MSF that many people injured in the Old City had not sought medical help for fear of arrest or detention.

At least 612 Palestinians, including children, have been injured yesterday, according to the PRCS, with 411 patients taken to hospital.

Additional Information / Shotlist We’ve been here for about nine hours supporting the PRCS with the trauma stabilization point. We’ve seen about 40 patients give or take mostly injuries with rubber bullets, people who’ve been beaten, head injuries, chest injuries, patients who have eyes injuries. We’ve had to transfer a significant proportion of patients to hospital because we don’t have the capacity here to manage serious life-threatening injuries. We’ve supported the PRCS to make decisions about transporting patients to local hospitals to get secondary and tertiary level care.
We’ve seen children, we’ve seen a 12-year-old with a femur injury, we’ve seen a 14-year-old with an eye injury. It’s pretty busy as you can see and it’s all going on in the background into the night. The second team has come to take over now and we will be back in the morning.
