'All of them will die,' doctor warns of premature babies at Gaza hospital
Doctors in the war-torn Gaza Strip are appealing for help from the international community as hospitals run out of life-saving supplies amid Israel's bombardment.
Dr. Hatem Daher, who runs the neo-natal department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in south Gaza, told ABC News that the situation there "is bad."
"There is the difficulty in getting drinking water and washing water, especially in our natal ICU because of the difficulty of getting the fuel for our generator," Daher said.
Daher noted that the situation at the strip's largest medical complex, Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, is even worse. Several doctors from Shifa are now working in Daher's hospital, he said.
"Our colleagues in Shifa Hospital describe a disaster there," Daher told ABC News. "No electricity, no oxygen, no drugs."
Daher warned that dozens of premature babies at Shifa are on the brink of death.
"Because they need incubator, they need electricity, they need oxygen, they will die. All of them," he said. "All of them will die. So, we call this emergency -- emergency call for all world, for all organizations -- WHO, UNICEF, Red Cross, anybody [who] can help these children."
