Dr. Mohammad Qishta, from Al-Nasser Hospital

The emergency department at Al-Nasser Hospital faced a catastrophic influx of casualties, with numerous bodies and body parts, primarily belonging to women and children. The scene was marked by widespread chaos, as some civilians sought urgent medical care, while others rushed to the hospital for safety.

Medical teams faced dual responsibilities: triaging and treating the wounded, while also ensuring the safety of their own families, many of whom had recently returned to their homes after prolonged displacement. The emotional toll on healthcare workers was severe, with doctors breaking down in distress due to the overwhelming scale of injuries and fatalities.

Patients suffered from severe third-degree burns, traumatic amputations, and critical head and chest wounds. The majority were classified as red cases (life-threatening emergencies) under triage protocols, while some yellow and green cases involved fractures and deep lacerations.

The hospital remains under extreme strain, with limited resources and an escalating crisis, underscoring the urgent need for humanitarian and medical support.
