Violence in the West Bank is rising following the latest war in the Gaza strip.

Dr Elma Wong
MSF anaesthetist

00:00:05:03 - 00:00:07:22
So at about 2:30 last night,

00:00:07:24 - 00:00:09:16
we got the call
that there was going to be

00:00:09:16 - 00:00:11:09
a mass casualty in the hospital.

00:00:11:13 - 00:00:13:11
So when we arrived,
we were receiving

00:00:13:11 - 00:00:15:17
many injured patients.

00:00:15:18 - 00:00:18:07
Up to about 20 patients came

00:00:18:16 - 00:00:20:22
as a result of an explosion that happened

00:00:20:22 - 00:00:22:16
in the refugee camp.

00:00:22:18 - 00:00:25:12
That was due to air
strike.

00:00:26:18 - 00:00:29:02
We were dealing
with a range of casualties.

00:00:29:03 - 00:00:33:07
So patients had lost
their limbs, lost their legs,

00:00:33:09 - 00:00:35:12
lots of shrapnel injuries,
which meant

00:00:35:12 - 00:00:39:06
that pieces of metal
go into the chest,

00:00:39:08 - 00:00:42:02
into the abdomen, into the head.

00:00:42:02 - 00:00:43:03
So as a result,

00:00:43:03 - 00:00:46:23
we had 2 patients
that didn't make it.

00:00:47:08 - 00:00:50:15
We were critically working
on two of the patients

00:00:50:15 - 00:00:52:15
that needed lifesaving surgery

00:00:52:18 - 00:00:54:18
in the middle of the night.

00:00:54:19 - 00:00:56:11
Both these patients

00:00:56:11 - 00:00:58:19
are on our
intensive care unit.

00:00:58:21 - 00:01:02:02
One particularly still
in a very critical situation.
