Thirty Minutes in a Gaza Hospital: Terror and Tragedy of Children Affected by Drones and Bombings

Here’s the American English translation of your text:

The makeshift hospitals in Gaza are facing a devastating humanitarian crisis, reflected in the heartbreaking cries of premature babies fighting for survival amid the chaos. With a critical lack of oxygen and basic resources, volunteer doctors are multiplying their efforts in an extremely hostile environment, trying to save children who are fleeing airstrikes and drone attacks that target those simply seeking the most basic need: bread.

The situation is so alarming that during a recent visit to Al Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder described the emotional impact of seeing a six-year-old girl, Aya, who was a victim of an airstrike. Despite her parents’ efforts to care for her, Aya died within minutes—a brutal reminder of the fragility of life in this war-torn enclave.

Amid the chaos, Elder observed three severely injured children as they continued to receive more patients at the hospital, a facility that is also insufficient and dangerous. Horror pervades every corner: a child bleeding on the floor and dozens more struggling to survive with burns and shrapnel in their bodies.

Since the onset of the conflict, at least 1,000 babies have lost their lives in Gaza. Out of the 36 operational hospitals in the region, only 14 are functioning, most of them overwhelmed. Elder also mentioned Sham, a girl pulled from the rubble who was unaware that she had lost her mother and sister in the attack. The images are heartbreaking: hundreds of newborns and mothers are suffering in the hallways, vulnerable and lacking proper care, some sharing a single source of oxygen while others cry desperately for their turn.

The notion of a “safe zone” has been debunked, as explosions continue to impact areas that should be protected. Thousands of civilians remain trapped in Gaza, terrorized by unexpected bombings.

The situation for humanitarian workers is also critical. The NGO Doctors Without Borders has mourned the killing of its fourteenth member in Gaza in an attack that also left four colleagues injured. According to representatives from the WHO and the ICRC, the violence is such that no place is free from risk; even hospitals have become vulnerable to stray gunfire.

Gaza remains mired in an unparalleled humanitarian crisis, where daily life has become a path of pain and despair.
