‘It was like a Judgement Day’: Doctor recalls surviving Israeli raid of Nasser Hospital

Dr Ahmed al-Moghrabi, head of the plastic surgery and burns department at Nasser Hospital, tells Al Jazeera that he considers himself lucky that he escaped from a “death checkpoint” when Israeli soldiers raided the hospital on Thursday. According to al-Moghrabi, Israeli soldiers arrived in the facility at about 1:30am and ordered everyone to evacuate immediately. Half an hour later, they bombed the hospital’s third floor, where al-Moghrabi was staying with his family, colleagues and patients. “It was like a Judgement Day,” al-Moghrabi said, adding that he managed to take his family away from the hospital along with some of his medical staff, while the rest of the staff was arrested, including a nurse whom he was separated from by Israeli soldiers at the gate of the hospital. “I ask the leaders of this world, how many videos do you have to see of us getting killed? Seeing this real genocide happening in front of your eyes and nothing – just silence?” WHO says about 200 patients remain inside the hospital.
