Humanitarian groups sound alarm over lack of medical supplies in Gaza's already devastated healthcare system | CBC News

Sisters Hind and Heba Al-Hourani were being treated at Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital on Sunday when Israel ordered everyone in the building to evacuate in the middle of the night, before targeting the hospital.

"All of a sudden, [it felt like] everyone ran out and was going to leave us behind," said Hind, 9, whose left leg had been amputated in an earlier airstrike that also left her sister critically wounded. "We ended up rushing to the street. We were scared."

Heba said once they got out onto the street, they didn't know where to go.

"We were praying in the streets, we could barely walk or do anything with our wounded legs," Heba said. "It was a very difficult situation, very frightening."

Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital, the last major hospital providing critical care in northern Gaza, has been forced to close after Israeli strikes severely damaged its emergency department. The strike is one of the latest hits on Gaza's devastated health-care infrastructure, and comes as international humanitarian organizations say hospital supplies are running out, with no new aid entering the territory for more than seven weeks.
