Business Camera Hading Israel’s Country at Gaza Hospital

The horrors of war multiply. The dead, the pieces of the dead. Dying. Fasting. More and more of them now – all the weight of human suffering, witnessing my brave colleagues in Gaza.

The impulse from preventing our eyes can be a suggestion. But operators working for the BBC cannot turn away and on Tuesday one of them has become a victim. We do not reveal the names of our colleagues in Gaza for their safety.

Our operator was not seriously injured, but it was a matter of luck. Israeli bombs fired into the parking lot of the European Hospital in Khan Eunnis killed and wounded dozensS

The Israelis claim that Hamas’s driver was hiding in a compound of command and control under the hospital. The army said it had conducted a “precise blow” – and accused Hamas for “cynically and cruelly operating the civil population in and around the hospital.” Hamas denies similar fees.

During the attack, families whose sick children should be evacuated by gas gathered to the hospital. There were also families waiting to meet children who were returning from treatment abroad.

One of the fathers was with our BBC colleague and was wounded by bombs. He is now discharged from a hospital. The hate images show that our journalist is trying to comfort the man’s horrified children.

Warning: This report contains suffering images.

Much of my colleague’s work in recent days has focused on the difficult position of malnourished children.

Shortly before the blast, I sent messages to thank him for his work with great sensitivity, the story of Sivar AshurS This was his answer:

“Sivar’s story broke something in all of us, and the work on it was one of the most painful things I had ever had to do. But I knew the person, her name and her story had to be seen – it had to be heard.”

Sivar is five months old and sharp malnourished, a child whose large, brown eyes dominate her retinue frame. They follow every move of her mother Nayva. On Tuesday, Najwa sent us a video message from his room at Nasser Hospital in South Gaza.

She wanted the world to know how much she loves her child. “I want to get the treatment she needs to recover completely and to return, as she was before – to play as other children, to grow up and to gain weight as other children. She is my first child, and as her mother, I am deeply broken for her.”

Disgusting, a frightened baby with huge eyes stares at the camera and cries.

Sivar Ashura has advanced malnutrition and cannot tolerate milk with a formula

Siwar has developed a skin infection over the last few days. The wounds appeared on her hands. She also has a severe gastrointestinal condition. The battle is to maintain a nourishment inside it. Its immune system fights the deprivation caused by the Israeli blockade.

The baby’s cry is weak, but is still full of emergency, the sound of life fighting for her survival. Siwar can drink a special formula for milk due to severe allergies.

There were some better news on Tuesday. Doctors at a nearby Jordan hospital in the field were able to find part of the formula it needed. That’s a small amount, but they plan to send more.

A woman closed her eyes and stared at the edge of tears. A child can be seen in the background.

The children of Asma Al Nashas are stuck in Gaza

In the coming days, there are plans to bring sick children in the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Here, in Aman, there are already several gas families who have children who are being treated for diseases or military injuries in local hospitals. These evacuations are coordinated with the Israelis who checks their parents traveling with their children.

In January, we filmed the arrival of Abdelrahman Al Nasash and his mom Asma. Abdelrahman lost his leg in an Israeli attack.

For four months, they live on a place with food and shelter. Safe place.

When we visited them on Tuesday, Asma called her children and their grandmother in Gaza.

Grandma Nava talks about war all around them. “Rockets are everywhere, shooting on our head. Food. Life is very bad. No flour. Prices are very high.”

The children waved and blown away their mother’s kisses.

Then Asma told us, “I do not know what to say. I am very grateful to my mother for everything I do for me. I want to come back to find them safe and in good health.” She broke and silent.

Only through the eyes of a mother sees his children trapped, frightened and hungry from a safe distance, it is possible to imagine why someone would like to return to the gas.
