Car accident on route to Gaza injures Unicef chief...


Catherine Russell, the executive director of UNICEF, was in israel and the Gaza Strip. She was hurt in an accident in egypt during this time. Her tour of israel had to be canceled as a result of this Tuesday, november 14, disaster. Kurtis Cooper, head of UNICEF's media department, stated on Wednesday, november 15, that "we believe the car hit or attempted to swerve into a large pothole on the way to Rafah, causing the car to go into the pothole and it turned over."

Although Russell is in excruciating pain, he said that his injuries are not too serious. According to him, Russell carried on with her trip to Gaza until medical professionals determined she need additional treatment, at which point Russell decided to end her stay. But she was not only traveling to Gaza; she was also going to Israel. She was supposed to pay the relatives of the children who died in israel and Gaza during the attacks.

Al-Shifa's circumstances are deteriorating.

Israeli forces took control of Al-Shifa, the main hospital in Gaza, on Wednesday. In addition to the Israeli army beating and mistreating the hospital workers, Al Jazeera reported that Israeli tanks had also infiltrated the Al Shifa Hospital grounds.

What is the state of the hospital's patients?

Patients at Al Shifa Hospital are getting sick and worse all the time. Their lack of food, water, and electricity is causing them a lot of troubles. There are not enough facilities for the infants in the hospital, and many of them are on the edge of death and without any care. According to the World health Organization, Al Shifa is no longer capable of operating as a hospital.
