Northern Gaza clinic inundated with people in need of medical help: MSF
Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has said that a clinic it supports in northern Gaza is receiving an influx of people in need of medical attention after the Israeli withdrawal from the Netzarim Corridor.
Sanabel Sulaiman, an MSF nurse in Gaza City warned that most of the medical centres in the north were destroyed by Israeli bombardment and that resources are scarce, impeding their ability to treat the incoming patients.
Sulaiman, who works at the MSF-supported Sheikh Radwan primary health centre, said that the number of patients has increased by around 80 percent since people began returning to the north.
“We have to perform burn dressings on the same bed for multiple patients.” she said in a video posted by MSF on X.
Sulaiman reported that the centre has received many children who come in barefoot.
"They have problems with their toes. They have infected wounds that need attention," she said. "When we ask the parents if they can get treatment, they tell us, no it is very difficult".
