Original Social Media Post

"In northern Gaza, there is only one functioning CT scanner left, serving countless critically injured individuals. Footage shows a young girl waiting alone at night, hoping for her turn after her critically injured brother undergoes his scan. The destruction of CT scanners in Al-Shifa and Indonesian hospitals has left this one machine to bear the burden, as global efforts to bring another scanner to the region have been blocked by the Israeli occupation. This situation has led to avoidable deaths, including children, who could not access timely scans for life-saving diagnoses. SOURCE: hamoda_shahen (IG)"
