Jenin hospital under Israeli siege faces increasingly bleak situation

The director of Jenin Hospital in the occupied West Bank spoke to Al Jazeera Arabic about the increasingly difficult situation the medical facility finds itself in as Israel continues its siege: 

  • “The occupation forces are stationed around the hospital, and we are facing a severe situation due to the Israeli attack.
  • "Ambulances in Jenin are being obstructed and searched by the occupation forces. Many injured individuals have been unable to reach Jenin Hospital because of the forces surrounding the building.
  • "The siege by the occupation forces has significantly reduced the number of people who can reach the hospital.
  • A major challenge for us is the power outage at the hospital, and we are concerned that the generators may fail"
