Zeinab al Astal and her two sons fled a bombed hospital in Gaza to Jordan, seeking vital medical treatment. The hospital was under siege, suffering from shortages of medicines and staff due to ongoing violence. Over 12,000 people in Gaza require similar evacuations for treatment, as the healthcare system continues to collapse under the pressure of war. Zeinab's sons, both battling leukemia, face an uncertain future, demonstrating the dire impact of ongoing conflict on vulnerable patients. Their story highlights the urgent humanitarian need for medical assistance in crisis areas.
"This medical evacuation saved us," Zeinab al Astal said, reflecting on their harrowing journey from a bombed hospital in Gaza to Jordan.
Medical equipment has been destroyed, medicines are running out, and one in three hospitals have been closed by attacks, leaving many without necessary treatment.
