Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest medical
center, lamented the helplessness of medics who often hear victims' cries but
cannot reach them, Associated Press reported.
Ali
Ahad, a 37-year-old Gaza City resident, recounted how rescuers failed to arrive
when Israeli airstrikes destroyed the neighboring residential building. He,
along with his friends, rushed outside in their slippers, rummaged through the
debris, and struggled to extract injured men and women, often covered in blood,
using blankets. They even chased down an ambulance racing to Shifa Hospital,
banging on its windows to make it stop so they could load their neighbors
inside.
Ahad
expressed the challenges they faced, remarking, "You have people like us
using our hands, and we have zero experience doing such things. There is no
infrastructure. There is no capacity."
