‘Our hearts died of grief’: Kamal Adwan Hospital nurse
Gaza-based journalist Mohammed al-Masri has shared a video featuring the account of Walid al-Badi, a nurse at Kamal Adwan Hospital in besieged and bombarded northern Gaza, about the collapse of the medical complex, which has led to its inability to treat wounded and other patients.
In the video, which has been verified by Al Jazeera, al-Badi also expressed his despair about the ongoing war and the loss of friends and loved ones, including colleagues killed in Israeli attacks.
“The rescue appeals are no longer useful as no one listens to our words or tries to move for us,” he said. “We can no longer endure. People are dying in the streets. The wounded are bleeding, and we are unable to extend a helping hand. Our hearts died of grief.”

Israeli officials and the media have been increasingly discussing the possibility of a potential ceasefire in Gaza that would not entail a permanent stop to Israeli military action in the besieged enclave.
