GAZA – After two weeks at the Al Shifa Medical Complex, the Israeli Defence Forces, IDF, left their regular trademarks of massacre, reckless killings that have defied rational thinking.

Dr. Amira Al-Safadi, one of the medical doctors that survived the horrors of two weeks relates that throughout the siege, the occupation made them evacuate the patients from building to building four times.

“We have been besieged on the night of 18th March. They shouted on microphones that Al-Shifa Hospital is besieged from all directions and no one is allowed to leave”, she said.

She added that the next day, they made them evacuate all the patients to the reception room.

“There were more than 100 patients but many were martyred. About 16 of those who were in the ICU were martyred and we couldn’t do anything to save them”, she continued.

According to her, three days ago, the IDF sent three signs.

“The red were for people who cannot walk at all and the yellow for the ones who can.

“They told us that it is connected to the snipers, anyone who comes out of the building not wearing these signs will be shot.”
