"Amid gunfire, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, pleads for help as food and medical supplies have run out, leaving Gaza’s people to die slowly—if not from gunfire or bombings, then from starvation and untreated injuries. Dr. Abu Safiya calls on international human rights organizations and the UN to intervene, stressing that the blockade has drained Gaza of even the most basic essentials.
وسط إطلاق النار، وجه د. حسام أبو صفية، مدير مستشفى كمال عدوان، نداءً استغاثة للمساعدة، حيث نفدت الإمدادات الغذائية والطبية، تاركة أهالي غزة ليموتوا ببطء—إن لم يكن من الرصاص والقصف، فمن الجوع والجروح غير المعالجة. ودعا د. أبو صفية منظمات حقوق الإنسان الدولية والأمم المتحدة للتدخل، مشدداً على أن الحصار استنزف غزة من أبسط الضروريات.
