Israel’s claims of providing incubators ‘false’, says al-Shifa director
The director of al-Shifa Hospital tells Al Jazeera that newborn babies require immediate attention, but they are running out of medical supplies.
“On some occasions, we are forced to leave patients to die because we are helpless, we cannot perform any surgical operations on them, the least we can do is give them some painkillers to let those victims die in peace,” Muhammed Abu Salmiya said.
He added that many newborn premature babies died as the incubators ran out of oxygen. The Israeli army said earlier this week that it would be providing incubators to al-Shifa Hospital, but Salmiya says this is a lie.
“The Israeli occupation forces claim to have provided incubators to the hospital, but this is not true; this is false. In addition, we are not in need of incubators; we have already incubators in the hospital, yet we are out of fuel to generate electricity [for the incubators],” he cried.
