Al-Shifa Three Years On
Three years after the storming and siege of al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza, its main buildings and essential medical equipment remain destroyed and out of service, despite the restoration of around 60% of its services by rehabilitating old departments and reallocating them. During the siege, more than 30,000 displaced people sought refuge in the complex, and it received more than 1,000 wounded people. The loss of oxygen, electricity and water led to the deaths of patients in intensive care, while around 80 bodies were buried in a mass grave inside the complex. The hospital is currently facing shortages of staff, supplies and funding. Its director says that more than 1,700 healthcare workers have been martyred in the Gaza Strip, and that 88 medical personnel remain in Israeli prisons.
