Additional Information / Shotlist Transcript:

1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:01,900
I'm Darwin Diaz,

2
00:00:01,966 --> 00:00:04,400
the medical coordinator
of MSF here in Gaza.

3
00:00:05,033 --> 00:00:07,133
Today is the
fourth day of hostilities

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,733
and so far
we are working 24/7

5
00:00:11,133 --> 00:00:13,233
to assist the population.

6
00:00:13,833 --> 00:00:17,666
We donated essential consumables, medicines,

7
00:00:18,066 --> 00:00:20,900
to the Ministry of Health,
in order for them

8
00:00:20,966 --> 00:00:22,733
to cater to
the influx of patients

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,300
coming to
the emergency room

10
00:00:24,366 --> 00:00:25,933
and through the OT
[Operating Theatre].

11
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:27,800
We are working
at Al-Awda hospital,

12
00:00:27,866 --> 00:00:29,100
in the north of Gaza,

13
00:00:29,333 --> 00:00:31,600
where yesterday
we received 50 patients,

14
00:00:32,133 --> 00:00:34,133
and we assisted them
in how to triage

15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,500
and we took
some of the patients

16
00:00:37,633 --> 00:00:39,600
and we had
surgeries in our unit.

17
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,300
It’s very difficult as well
for our Palestinian staff

18
00:00:42,366 --> 00:00:44,866
because they lost
their houses in strikes

19
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,600
and several of them
lost their family members.
