From

0:07

the New York Times, I'm Sabrina

0:09

Tavernisi, and this is

0:11

the Daily. They bombed the

0:14

door of the hospital.

0:14

They

0:17

bombed. Thousands of people are out. Thousands

0:19

of people. Thousands.

0:30

As Israel's war on Hamas enters

0:33

its sixth week, hospitals in

0:35

Gaza have found themselves on the front

0:37

lines.

0:38

They are a refuge

0:41

for growing numbers

0:42

of civilians fleeing the violence. But

0:45

one that has become increasingly dangerous,

0:47

as Israel's military targets what

0:49

it says are Hamas fighters hiding

0:52

inside of them and beneath them.

0:57

Israel's bombing campaign has become one of

0:59

the most intense in the 21st century.

1:03

Gazan health officials say the death toll now

1:05

stands at more than 11,000 people, higher than

1:09

all previous wars between Israel and

1:12

Hamas combined. At

1:19

the center of it all are doctors. Hi,

1:23

Dr. Ahmed, this is Sabrina Tavernisi

1:25

from the New York Times. Hello, Dr.

1:28

Marwan Abusada. Yes, yes, please. Marhaba,

1:30

doctor. Ana ismi Rashad

1:32

Bonja, sahafiyah maa jaleedat New York Times.

1:39

The Daily has spent the past several weeks calling

1:41

doctors all over the Gaza Strip, asking

1:44

them what the war looks like from

1:47

inside their hospitals. The attacks are

1:49

continuous. They bomb a building and

1:51

then we get a gush of casualties coming

1:54

at least 40 or 50 at one time.

1:56

You hear the bombings.

1:59

Yes, I do. How are you working? We

2:02

work hard. We work more than 18 hours

2:04

per day. How are

2:06

you living? Where are you sleeping?

2:09

Are you going home? In the hospital. Sometimes

2:12

in the office, sometimes in the OR. And

2:14

what are they doing to keep up with the flood

2:16

of patients? I will show you just for

2:18

one minute with a camera to see how many patients are

2:21

waiting in

2:24

the waiting room. Just one minute, please.

2:27

Okay. Oh my goodness. I see

2:29

so many patients. Now,

2:31

as Israel's military moves deeper into

2:33

Gaza City, the

2:35

war is pushing hospitals to the

2:40

brink of collapse. It's

2:43

catastrophic

2:45

situation, madam. You

2:49

have to watch by yourself to

2:51

see what I talk about. Today, three doctors

2:53

and two doctors are waiting for the next

2:55

day.

2:56

Three doctors on survival in

2:58

Gaza. He's actually operating at the moment.

3:01

Would you be able to call back in half an hour? Of

3:03

course. So you need to go to

3:05

a surgery right now. Yes, I must go. Excuse

3:08

me. Okay, thank you. It's

3:12

Monday, November 13th.

3:27

Hello. Hello, Dr. Abu

3:30

Sita.

3:30

You're speaking.

3:33

A few weeks ago, my colleague Jessica Chung called Dr. Ghassan

3:36

Abu Sita, a British-Palestinian

3:40

plastic surgeon. Hi, how are you? I'm

3:43

good.

3:43

How are you doing?

3:46

Exhausted.

3:46

Otherwise, intact. Can you tell me a

3:48

little bit about where you are

3:51

right now?

4:03

I'm in the operating room of SIPA

4:06

hospital.

4:09

It sounds like a child is in

4:12

pain. She needs an amputation

4:14

part of her foot.

4:17

She needs six. Take

4:20

them from underneath the rubble. How

4:27

many patients are at the hospital right

4:29

now? Around 1,600

4:32

to 1,700. But the hospital capacity

4:35

is 600.

4:39

You can only imagine.

4:43

The day she reached him, he was working at Al-Shifa

4:46

Hospital in Gaza City, the largest

4:48

hospital in the Gaza Strip. Israel's

4:51

army had not invaded Gaza yet,

4:53

but its airstrikes had driven

4:55

many from their homes and SIPA had become

4:57

a kind of refuge. Around 60,000

5:00

people were living there. If

5:04

you walk through the hospital, it's turned

5:06

into a tented city. On

5:09

the floors at the entrance,

5:11

there are families sitting. There

5:15

are patients on the corridors, patients

5:17

on mattresses, and the floors of the patients

5:20

on the floors of the patients in the emergency

5:22

room. It's just, it's

5:24

surreal. It's surreal how awful

5:27

it is. Across the hallway

5:29

from my operating room door, there

5:31

is a whole three-generational

5:33

family. It's grandmother and parents

5:35

and other siblings. And

5:38

they have a little girl who's oxygen dependent.

5:41

She fights for and

5:43

needs continuous oxygen. So they're

5:45

sitting next to an electric socket

5:47

on the floor. There

5:50

are some patients on mattresses with their

5:52

injuries. It's

5:55

miserably grim. And the smell,

5:58

it's a public health catastrophe waiting for them. happen.

6:00

This is the color of our tiches waiting to happen.

6:03

And are you sleeping in the hospital? In

6:06

the operating room.

6:08

Each operating room has a small

6:10

area called recovery where we put patients

6:12

right after the surgery just to

6:15

monitor them until the anesthetic where the

6:17

that recovery area is where I

6:20

sleep. Are colleagues

6:22

there also sleeping there? Everybody's

6:24

sleeping here and some people have brought their families.

6:28

And where are they sleeping? Every

6:31

available office cupboard,

6:33

storage room, corridor, whatever

6:36

you can imagine.

6:39

And how many patients have you been able to

6:41

see today? What have you done today?

6:43

I've just been operating

6:45

all day. So burns, we

6:48

brought in major burns patients. So patients

6:50

with over 40% burns.

6:52

We had a mother, her 11 year

6:55

old son who has particularly

6:57

fluenced his face and his arms.

6:59

We had a mother with burns to

7:02

her legs and to his arms. We

7:05

had a seven month old with

7:07

burns to his legs

7:09

and arms.

7:12

But we also had this child

7:14

with facial burns yesterday who

7:16

doesn't look like she's going to do well.

7:21

What happened to him? He

7:25

got over 60% burns.

7:28

Burns his face,

7:30

his hands, his legs. He's 13, 12,

7:33

13. He was just whimpering.

7:39

Do you

7:41

try to calm them? Do you try to talk

7:43

them through? Absolutely,

7:45

absolutely, absolutely.

7:47

What do you usually say to them? Everything

7:49

is going to be all right, even though you

7:52

know it's not going to be all right.

7:54

You tell them that once the surgery is done,

7:56

their parents will give them the best

7:59

meal that they like.

7:59

get them some ice cream or whatever.

8:03

But these

8:06

kids have been pulled from underneath the levels. A

8:08

lot of them have seen family being killed.

8:12

It's very little but effectively you can

8:14

say to them. And they're

8:17

absolutely

8:18

petrified.

8:21

This six-year-old

8:24

girl needs an amputation to her foot. We'll

8:27

be taking her next

8:29

to the operating room. It's

8:31

just been like that.

8:34

This

8:36

is carnage on an unfathomable

8:38

scale.

8:51

I need to go. I need to go because the dad

8:54

of the girl is here and we need to tell them that we

8:56

need to do the amputation. Thank you.

8:58

Okay. Good luck. Thank you.

9:26

The day after we talked to Dr. Abu-Siddha, on

9:29

Friday, October 27th, all communications to Gaza

9:31

were cut. No

9:34

phone, no internet. It was about two

9:37

days before we could reach anyone again. When

9:40

we did, it had become clear that Israel

9:43

had launched a ground invasion into Gaza. And

9:46

the doctors we spoke to told us it felt like the

9:48

war was getting even closer. Last

9:52

night was horrendous. The bombing was just... I'm very

9:54

close. And it was. Are

9:57

you worried about the war?

9:59

about the Israeli military

10:02

coming inside Gaza? There

10:05

are forces coming closer to Gaza

10:07

City now. This is actually

10:10

awful.

10:11

We don't want this to happen.

10:13

10 days

10:17

ago, an Israeli airstrike hit an

10:19

ambulance near the entrance of Shefa Hospital. Then,

10:23

on Friday, the courtyard inside

10:25

the hospital complex was hit.

10:30

The the

10:32

the Israel

10:37

maintains that the hospital concealed a

10:39

major Hamas military compound, including

10:42

passageways hidden underneath. It

10:44

says the ambulance it hit, it was being

10:46

used to transport Hamas fighters. It

10:49

also said that Hamas is hoarding fuel.

10:53

Hamas has denied all of this. When

10:57

we asked doctors about it, some said

10:59

it wasn't true.

11:00

I mean, for me, it's just a narrative to justify

11:03

targeting the hospital.

11:05

I mean, think about it is that under

11:07

international rule, it's

11:09

still a crime to attack a hospital, regardless

11:12

of who you say is

11:14

underneath the ground.

11:16

Others said they didn't know. I only

11:18

deal with patients. I don't

11:21

know.

11:22

All they knew

11:23

was their reality in this war. That

11:28

their corridors were filling up even more

11:30

with wounded and dying people. The 600

11:33

now, they don't have clean water to

11:35

drink. I just think like water

11:37

with yellow color. Just as their

11:39

supplies were running out. Some

11:42

patients may die because of

11:45

infection in the wound. Why there

11:47

is infection in the wound? Because there is lack of anti-violence.

11:50

They

11:50

were running out of disinfectant and

11:52

were resorting to what they had on hand.

11:55

One of the scenes I have witnessed

11:57

is seeing chloride.

12:00

using in the wiping the

12:02

floors or wiping the windows.

12:05

We use it for the cleaning of

12:08

wound infections. Other

12:11

example, I've seen nurses and

12:13

doctors using vinegar

12:15

to treat wound infections. And I

12:17

am sure it is not enough. It will not treat

12:20

anything.

12:21

They said they were running out of medicine to operate on

12:23

people.

12:24

MSF, release of photo,

12:27

it was an amputation of the foot of

12:29

a little boy on the ground with

12:32

no general anesthesia. So he

12:34

was just given sedatives to

12:36

fall asleep. Part of what we

12:38

do as doctors is really suffering. And

12:41

if you can't treat patients with

12:43

pain control, I

12:47

mean, it's intolerable.

12:49

They started rationing everything,

12:52

particularly fuel to run the generators.

12:55

So many turned off the lights in their hospitals.

12:58

But the wards are dark.

13:00

The corridors are dark. The communal

13:02

areas, the lobbies, the stairwells,

13:04

they're dark. And so it's a

13:07

nightmare because you don't know who you're stepping on

13:09

while you're walking.

13:11

Some said they were even operating on people using

13:13

their phone flashlights. Do

13:15

you use light from your phone? How do you

13:18

see?

13:18

Yeah, yeah. That's basically it. That's

13:21

the trick. You

13:24

use light from your phone.

13:26

And they worried about how much time they had left.

13:30

A hospital without a fuel, this

13:32

hospital without fuel and electricity will

13:34

turn from a hospital into mass graves.

13:39

I'm trying to find full will for

13:41

ambulances and electricity.

13:45

And some of those we talked to were spending

13:48

much of their days trying to find fuel

13:50

themselves, including

13:53

Dr. Suheb Al-Hams, the general

13:55

director of the Kuwaiti Specialist Hospital

13:57

in Raffa in the south of Gaza.

13:59

I spent my day since 6

14:02

a.m.

14:03

trying to call everyone.

14:05

I called down Norway, I called International

14:08

Cross, I called the Minister of Health, I called. I

14:10

am trying to find another hospital if they can

14:13

help me. I

14:15

will stop my service here. The patients

14:17

will die.

14:18

How many calls did you make about

14:20

fuel today for your hospital? Lots

14:23

of calls. Just a square. I spent

14:25

my day just looking for water, for

14:27

food, for food, for my medical

14:30

staff here. We don't have

14:32

even a bread for

14:34

the last two days for the medical staff.

14:38

You don't have bread for the staff?

14:40

That's what I have been here. But

14:43

we have no options. We

14:46

cannot leave our patients, we cannot leave our hospital

14:48

here.

14:51

And what about Hamas, doctor?

14:54

You mentioned you're calling the Ministry of Health. Does

14:56

Hamas help you with fuel?

14:59

Madam, you cannot ask me about

15:01

Hamas. I am a doctor. I am an associate

15:04

professor here.

15:06

I am the head of the surgery department

15:08

in the Faculty of Medicine. You cannot ask me

15:10

about Hamas, about Jihad, about... You

15:12

should ask me about the medical field. You can ask Israel

15:15

what they are doing here. They

15:16

are killed. There are lots of honest

15:18

people. I won't answer anyone.

15:21

You ask me about the political situation here. You

15:24

talk about humanity. You talk about

15:26

catastrophic situation here in Gaza, Madam.

15:28

One thing that we have

15:30

heard, doctor... You should deal with that. You should face

15:32

that.

15:33

One thing that we have heard, doctor, is that

15:36

there are reports that Hamas

15:39

had been sitting on a stockpile

15:41

of fuel in the underground tunnels. Is

15:45

that something that you've

15:46

heard about? I didn't hear about it.

15:48

I heard from the Israeli occupation. I didn't

15:50

hear about that except from the Israeli occupation.

15:53

You hear that lots of doctors,

15:55

of professors, consultants and

15:58

medical students were killed here. Do you

16:00

hear about the ambulances that were destroyed

16:02

by the Israeli occupation? Do you hear about

16:05

the hospitals that were destroyed by the patients? Do

16:07

you hear about the al-lots of children

16:09

and women and the pregnant women and the citizens

16:11

that were killed by the Israeli

16:14

occupation? And the whole world, the whole

16:16

world, that they called them the

16:18

democracy, the democratic world, just

16:21

watch us. Nothing, do

16:23

nothing. Just support Israel. Support

16:25

Israel. This is the genocide here. I

16:28

wonder how they can do this. This

16:32

is our life. This is our life. We

16:34

have dreams. We have children.

16:36

We have our own dreams. They

16:40

saw everything. They destroyed everything.

16:47

I can hear

16:48

you're angry.

16:51

I'm angry. I

16:53

am exhausted.

16:54

This is a bad dream.

16:57

I hope

16:59

I work from it.

17:00

Just

17:03

today we received about 12 children

17:06

and women,

17:08

pregnant women. Two of them are

17:10

pregnant. There

17:12

is a hospital date. They were

17:14

killed. And we tried after

17:17

they killed, we tried to

17:19

do the zero-in-six-shade after they were killed. They

17:22

are trying to save their

17:24

babies, but

17:26

we cannot do that. Unfortunately,

17:30

the fetus was killed also. We

17:33

tried to save it. We tried.

17:37

What was it like for you when

17:39

you discovered you couldn't save

17:41

the babies inside the mothers?

17:44

Yes, I cried.

17:46

The only thing I can do is just to cry.

17:50

Cry when I fall

17:53

asleep. Crying when I'm working.

17:55

Just I cried. Yes, there is nothing

17:57

to do with them for them. Nothing

18:01

to be done, nothing to be spoken.

18:06

Of the children, one of them

18:08

was nine-year daughters, she

18:10

lost her mother. She

18:13

lost all of her family.

18:16

And she was shooked.

18:18

She was shooked. No

18:21

expression. Just,

18:24

just you are silent. One

18:29

of the nurses just stay with her

18:31

till the morning. And

18:33

after that, it's ones with one

18:36

of her families, one of her cousins.

18:42

I hope that her cousin will take care

18:44

of her.

18:53

As the days went on, the war

18:55

was forcing doctors to make impossible choices. Who

18:57

would get treatment, and

18:59

who wouldn't? Who

19:02

got anesthesia, and who didn't? Which

19:06

wounds got disinfectant, and

19:08

which did not? A

19:11

number of doctors talked about making the

19:13

most impossible choice of all.

19:16

Whom to save,

19:17

and whom to let die. One

19:20

doctor told us that it felt as if he was

19:22

deciding on the souls of people.

19:29

Doctors also said that they found themselves

19:31

in a

19:31

strange new role. The

19:34

hospital is full of children, so we

19:36

have children. Looking after children.

19:40

Two days ago, we got a patient

19:42

with no one of her family

19:43

alive.

19:49

She came alone. 11 years old.

19:52

She was disoriented. No

19:57

one knows the name.

19:58

And she was in the recovery.

19:59

with no beds.

20:01

The general manager of the hospital called

20:03

me and said, I know this is not your care.

20:06

Can you take care of this little girl? She

20:09

has no one here.

20:12

One doctor said that for children who

20:13

were too young to speak, the staff

20:15

would write unknown in marker

20:18

on their bodies. Every day we had

20:20

a lot of cases like this. Lots

20:24

of children, their

20:26

mothers, their fathers, without

20:28

families.

20:30

Some said their hospitals were starting

20:32

to feel like orphanages, with

20:35

children wandering the halls looking

20:37

for parents who were no longer alive.

20:40

Even there is a new medical term that

20:43

we are having. It must be added to

20:45

medical books. W C

20:48

N S F. Wounded

20:50

child, no surviving family.

20:54

W C N S F. Yes. And it happens every

20:57

hour. I have seen like dozens or even hundreds of W

20:59

C N S F. Ibrahim Mattar

21:02

is a resident ICU doctor at

21:05

Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the middle

21:07

of the Gaza Strip.

21:13

And one of the doctors said that he was not a doctor.

21:15

He was a doctor. And what happens to

21:17

these children? Where do they go? Who cares for them

21:22

after they get better?

21:28

Who

21:33

cares for them? Actually,

21:35

there is no answer for this question. We

21:38

don't even know their names sometimes.

21:41

So who will care for them?

21:43

So

21:44

far, no one.

21:48

I have seen two

21:50

kids who are severely injured. Those

21:54

two kids do not know that their

21:56

father and mother

21:58

and all their

21:59

siblings.

21:59

have died.

22:01

They were unconscious at the time of

22:04

the bombing and now they are conscious, they

22:07

are receiving treatment, but simply

22:09

they do not know and

22:11

all the people around them did not tell

22:13

them in order they are kids

22:16

and they cannot handle

22:19

the pain of the injury or

22:21

the psychological pain of the grief.

22:24

How old are the kids?

22:26

The first is the 13

22:30

year old female who is having

22:32

a severe commuted fracture. The

22:34

other her brother is

22:37

a 14 year old who

22:39

is having a severe head

22:41

trauma and a brain hemorrhage, but

22:44

now they are both conscious and receiving

22:46

treatment and they do not know that

22:49

their family,

22:50

father and mother, siblings,

22:52

house, all are destroyed. Just

22:55

we tell them that you're gonna see

22:57

them soon just

22:59

in order

23:00

not to make them feel

23:02

sad.

23:04

It is painful

23:06

hiding the truth. It is some

23:09

sort of deceiving, but sometimes

23:12

you may

23:13

do things that are not

23:15

appropriate at that moment

23:18

and may be appropriate later.

23:21

Yeah, that must be so

23:23

hard Dr. Mator.

23:24

Yes, it is. Pain

23:27

is too intense here. This

23:33

is a ambulance is coming.

23:36

Oh, what is that in the background?

23:39

Now it is a new

23:41

casualty and many paramedics

23:45

are doing CPR and it is

23:47

for a child. Yes, it is for

23:49

a child.

23:52

What are you looking at?

23:55

Many paramedics are rushing the child into

23:57

the emergency department and they are doing It

24:01

is a wounded child and it seems

24:03

there is not advising family.

24:09

WCNSF?

24:12

Yes.

24:14

How old is the child? It looks like 10

24:17

years old.

24:18

What's

24:25

happening now? People,

24:30

doctors and paramedics in the hospital are

24:33

speaking about a new bombing. And

24:36

there are dozens of

24:38

new casualties in

24:41

the... ...in

24:44

some time and they will reach the hospital.

24:47

And new cases, we are now waiting for new

24:49

cases.

24:55

How are you feeling?

24:58

I did not

25:00

go home since the start of

25:02

the conflict. So

25:04

I feel tired emotionally, physically,

25:08

mentally and in all aspects. I

25:10

did not see my family since 7th

25:12

October.

25:15

Where is your family? They

25:17

are in the north of Gaza Strip.

25:20

They did not

25:21

leave the north.

25:23

Are they okay? Thankfully,

25:26

yes. They are okay. So

25:28

far, I don't know what is happening

25:30

later.

25:33

And I feel very anxious about them. And

25:35

every time in the hospital, I think

25:37

of them and I hope they are fine.

25:41

Dr. Matar, is the child

25:44

okay? What is happening with that child?

25:47

I may enter the department

25:49

and ask about them. Just give

25:51

me a few seconds. Okay. Stay

25:54

on the line.

25:59

Head Hello.

26:08

Hi. Yes, I've seen the kid. The one who

26:12

is being brought by the

26:34

ambulance.

26:39

Is he okay?

26:42

No, he's not okay.

26:45

He's having a severe head

26:48

trauma.

26:50

We could see the brain matter

26:54

through the wound. You could see his brain

26:56

through the wound. He's still alive, but

26:59

he's having what doctors

27:02

say brain death.

27:03

He's unconscious. He's having large

27:07

crack in his head. So

27:09

we are now,

27:11

as doctors in the ER department, are

27:13

thinking of giving him

27:15

assisted mechanical ventilation

27:18

or not. So

27:20

the IC doctors in charge

27:23

may not incubate him because they may

27:25

think this is a hopeless case because

27:28

if they did, there will no

27:31

any good results. So this

27:34

is now

27:35

situation of choosing

27:38

between which cases

27:40

will benefit from treatment or not.

27:43

Your colleagues are deciding whether to try

27:45

to save him.

27:49

Yeah.

27:52

And

27:54

that must be such a difficult choice.

28:10

What is your biggest fear at this

28:12

moment?

28:12

In

28:15

this conflict, the

28:17

first thing is that I don't want

28:19

to die in a cold

28:22

blood. I

28:25

am an innocent person. The

28:27

second thing is I'm afraid of

28:30

my family. I don't want my family to

28:32

get injured or to die

28:35

because they are also innocent. We

28:38

are afraid of our families

28:41

more than we are afraid of ourselves.

28:44

And we don't just want to

28:47

die

28:48

in cold blood.

28:50

What do you mean we don't

28:53

want to die in cold blood?

28:56

I mean that we

28:59

are not targets.

29:01

We are not targets.

29:04

We as normal, civilian, human,

29:07

we need a ceasefire.

29:10

We need the conflict

29:12

to end and to have

29:15

a normal life.

29:19

An normal life that

29:23

includes staying safe at

29:25

home, drinking clean

29:28

water, seeing my

29:30

friends, doing techniques, sleep

29:33

in a calm room, sleep

29:37

without the sounds of bonding,

29:40

going to work, attending

29:42

back from work, playing

29:45

football or stuck up with my friends,

29:48

going to

29:49

the beach. Every

29:53

day I used to go there

29:55

and smell a breeze

29:58

of the beach.

29:59

listen to the sounds of waves,

30:02

listen to music.

30:05

I miss listening to music. I'm

30:07

a music lover and I

30:09

love poetry. I

30:11

miss writing about love,

30:15

about dreams. I

30:18

was going to the gym before

30:20

the conflict started. I miss

30:23

going to the gym. Actually,

30:25

the gym I go to has

30:28

been destroyed today. I don't know

30:30

why. So I miss

30:33

going to the gym.

30:41

How old are you, Dr. Mattar? I

30:44

am 27 years old. I'm

30:47

still I am doctor. You

30:50

are? Yes, I

30:53

ignored my life back.

31:03

Now

31:06

I can see the child who I told

31:08

you about is being taken

31:10

to the

31:12

place of dead people.

31:16

You see the child being

31:18

taken where?

31:20

Into the place

31:23

of dead people.

31:26

Oh, they took

31:28

the child

31:29

you told me about to

31:30

the morgue. Yes,

31:35

my friend who was working

31:37

with him, he is giving

31:40

me a sign that he's dead. It

31:45

is

31:47

sad. It

31:50

is very sad.

32:06

It's a young child. Yeah,

32:11

a young child.

32:14

What

32:28

is your friend doing now?

32:33

He returned to the ER department

32:35

to see new casualties. There

32:39

is no time to get sad

32:41

over every case.

32:54

Thank you for giving

32:57

me the chance to listen to me. Thank

32:59

you for sharing yourself. You're

33:02

welcome, my friend. It's my

33:04

privilege. Good

33:07

night, and wish a good night

33:09

for me also. Be safe

33:11

tonight. Thank you, thank

33:14

you. I appreciate that. I hope.

33:18

Bye-bye.

33:37

Thank you.

33:59

Many tanks and troops were closing in on

34:02

Shippah hospital, Gaza's main

34:04

hospital,

34:05

where Dr. Abu Sitta had been working, and

34:07

where Israel claims that Hamas has a base.

34:12

On Sunday, Israel said it was securing

34:15

a route for civilians and patients to leave,

34:18

and claimed it had offered the hospital fuel

34:21

to help keep it operating.

34:26

The tens of thousands of refugees who had taken

34:28

shelter there have already fled, but

34:31

many seriously wounded patients remain

34:34

inside. Dr.

34:36

Abu Sitta has also left Shippah, and is now

34:39

working at a nearby hospital,

34:41

one of the few

34:46

in Gaza that is still accepting

34:47

new patients. Gaza's

35:17

health ministry said on Sunday that 23

35:20

out of the 35 hospitals in the Gaza Strip are

35:24

no longer functioning.

35:53

Here's what else you should know

35:56

today. On Sunday,

35:58

the Times reported that federal

35:59

authorities are investigating whether

36:01

New York City Mayor Eric Adams pressured

36:04

the New York Fire Department to allow

36:06

the opening of a Manhattan high-rise housing

36:09

the Turkish Consulate General despite

36:12

safety concerns with the building. The

36:15

Times cited three people with knowledge of the matter

36:17

and said that the alleged pressure took place

36:20

weeks before Adams' election two

36:22

years ago. The FBI

36:24

is examining Adams' intervention as

36:26

part of a broader public corruption investigation

36:29

that led to the seizure last week of

36:32

the mayor's electronic devices. Today's

36:37

episode was produced by Lindsay Garrison,

36:39

Rochelle Bonja, and Jessica Chung. It

36:42

was edited by Lisa Chow and Liz

36:45

O'Bailen with help from Ben Calhoun.
