The explosions are the signal. Boom. And again: Boom. I immediately anticipate a surge of patients at our field hospital in Gaza. On June 21, in al-Mawasi, dozens perished and many were injured near the Red Cross premises, leading to an influx of patients at our hospital. Amidst a loud explosion, chaos ensued as ambulances rushed in with injured individuals, ranging from critical cases to fatalities. The staff, though inundated, managed a significant number of patients, classifying them based on the severity of their injuries. Despite our efforts, casualties were inevitable, and the emotional toll on both patients and medical personnel was immense. Mass casualty events are not unfamiliar to our team, and the recent series of events presented significant challenges. Within the tents, we operated under pressure, providing medical care to those in need amidst the ongoing conflict. The hospital, usually a place of safety, now echoed with sounds of suffering, as patients arrived in critical conditions. Our space, limited yet crucial, became a battleground of life-saving procedures and emotional support for the traumatized patients. The aftermath of treating patients is a meticulous process of cleaning up, restocking supplies, and providing support to families and staff. In the midst of chaos, our team remains dedicated to the noble cause of saving lives and offering solace in times of turmoil. Six minutes until the patients arrive Hospitals, even makeshift ones, serve as sanctuaries in times of war, providing essential care and treatment to those in need. In Gaza, the balance between safety and space constraints during emergencies creates a challenging dynamic for medical personnel. The swift arrival of patients following explosions poses a unique challenge, requiring immediate action and coordination within the hospital. The physical injuries heal over time, but the emotional scars, especially on children, linger long after the wounds have closed. Recovery for the injured extends beyond surgeries, necessitating ongoing therapy and emotional support. Post-patient care involves not only medical tasks but also emotional recovery for both patients and staff, preparing for the uncertainties of the next emergency.
