Israel-Palestine
Gaza Hospital Is Overwhelmed With Wounded
2004-09-30
Frantic doctors tended to patients on a blood-smeared hospital floor and operated on cafeteria tables, as medics rushed in with more wounded and mangled bodies.
Next time I shop at Home Depot, I swear to Allah-ha-ha-ha to buy more brick and mortar and to stay away from the nails and ball bearings aisle.
On one of the deadliest days in Gaza in four years -- 26 Palestinians were killed and at least 131 wounded Thursday -- even battle-tested medical staff were overwhelmed.
Only 26, I was hoping for few more. AP has minimum of 30 before promoting propaganda
"This sight I haven't seen since the beginning of the intefadeh," said ambulance driver Ahmed Abu Sal, one of the first to evacuate casualties after an Israeli tank shell was fired at a group of gunmen near Jebaliya's market, but also hit bystanders. Many of the wounded were given emergency treatment at two small clinics in Jebaliya, including the Kamal Adwan Hospital, which was closest to the fighting. Kamal Adwan has only 25 beds and one operating room. Desperate for extra space to treat the wounded, officials opened the hospital cafeteria and the doctor's private quarters for operations. Some were even treated on the floor.
Hey Mohammed, I told you we need more hospitals. I just can't handle the all these dead and injured 9 year old human shields.
Two scorched bodies were carried in on stretchers. "There is no hospital in the world that can handle the arrival of a group of wounded and dead in less than three minutes," said Dr. Mahmoud Asali, the hospital director. Residents rushed to the hospital in search of loved ones. Dozens thronged the emergency room entrance seeking information on the dead and wounded.
Paleo hospital=Center for Operations & Planning in the extermination of Jooooos. Also included, mask changing rooms for Hamas.
Several hours after the start of the army's push into the Jebaliya camp, all hospitals in northern Gaza declared a state of emergency. Health officials called on all doctors to report to work, and radio stations asked listeners to donate blood.
"You! Got any blood?"
"Uhhh... Yeah. I think so."
"Gimme it!"
The bloodiest incident was the Israeli tank fire near the Jebaliya market. The army said soldiers fired a shell toward a group of gunmen in the crowded market area after the militants fired an anti-tank shell in their direction. Maj. Gen. Dan Harel, the army's Gaza commander, said he regretted the loss of innocent life. "We are very sorry that civilians are being hurt," said Harel, blaming Palestinian militants for using civilian areas for launching attacks against Israeli troops.
"You stand around krazed killers while they're poppin' off antitank rounds, don't be surprised to catch something in return."
Abu Sal, the ambulance driver, said the scene of flying body parts and charred corpses was the worst he has witnessed in four years of fighting. Abu Sal said he put one wounded man in the back of his ambulance together with all the body parts he had collected. "In the interest of speed, I threw him in the back of the ambulance with the body parts, because I had no choice," he said.
"Hey! Wait! That's not my lip!"
The Israeli push into Jebaliya came after a Palestinian rocket attack killed two preschoolers in an Israeli border town Wednesday.

#16  #2 - "Did anyone see any MSM coverage of the murder of these preschoolers? Anyone?"
Very little - but then I was watching CNN. They were saying that 3 ISRAELIS (Not Israeli children) and 24-odd Paleos had been killed in Gaza, but tucked the cause of the fighting, namely the rocket attack that killed the children, away near the end of their report by Ben Weideman. Also, in their main news reports there was nothing about the death of Israeli children. I don't know how these CNN propagandist swine sleep at night.

#14  Well, I guess we could swap the goats for pigs. There's plenty of pigs around and followers of Allan have special spot in their heart for pigs. So I'm sure they won't mind pigs instead of goats.

#12  Maybe one day, when the Paleo's decide to join the human race, we might care. Until then, they're simply vermin to be eradicated. They chose to be barbaric animals, and they are reaping the benefits of their decision. They have short, nasty lives, and when they die, they get their 72 virgin goats as well a nice toasty spot in Hell.

#10  I'd say these guys better get a capital expansion drive going fast. Big green thermometer out front. Maybe they can name it the Arafish wing. He's got more money than anybody else around there. 'Cause they ain't seen nothing yet.

#9  The 120mm HE round is just the IDF's way of saying "fuck your human shields".

#8  Once again pretty gruesome. The struggle of the first world to defend it's self from the third world of islamic-fascist terrorists. The terrorist seeks refuge among the innocent or unsuspecting because that is how terror gets it's message across. These paleo terrorists don't care whether it's Palestinians or Israelis they kill as long as they are killing and getting attention. At this point the Israelis don't even give a damm I am sure. These people are trying to sucide as an ethnic group. It's like sucide by cop, unfathomable.


Your typical group islamo-fascist pan arabist dildos at worship to their death cult.

#5  Remember that push is very quickly becoming shove. The bad guyz are making every effort to turn the evacation of Gaza into a bloodbath. So if the Israelis aren't willing, able and ready to step up the level of conflict to "slaughter mode", then they are going to be in a bad way. Their commanders should have every contingency planned, to *include* the extermination of every Paleo in Gaza, if necessary.

#4  2 pre-schoolers AM, I think you are correct in your assumptions. I'd be going way long of Catepillar about now. Over and under on houses razed should be about 500.

#3  Just what did the Paleos expect? Sooner or later Israel was going to hit back and hit back HARD. It is tragic that women and children get hurt, but these bastards have shown no remorse when they blow up buses or rocket people in their homes.

I admit I missed the news last night and only watch Fox now-a-days but I didn't notice any coverage.

#1  I wonder if the Israelis are going to strongly step of the level of violence to stop the attempted rout of the evacuation? Does it reach a point when they say "If you use your women and children to attack our women and children, then we will kill your women and children."
