PRCS perform successful c-section amid attacks on al-Amal hospital

Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) medical staff performed a successful Caesarean section, or c-section, for a woman experiencing sudden labour pains amid attacks on al-Amal hospital, in Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

The organisation hailed the operation as a "remarkable feat", achieved "despite facing challenges such as insufficient blood units, the absence of an available anesthesia technician (who was arrested), and the lack of a neonatologist," PRCS said on X (formerly Twitter).
