An American Nurse in Gaza City Films a Hospital’s Collapse as Israeli Forces Surround It
An American nurse recorded severe hospital damage and critical shortages amid Israeli military actions targeting health facilities in Gaza City, where many clinics have closed, the U.N. reported.
- Israeli troops have advanced on Gaza City during a nearly two-week ground offensive, targeting Hamas infrastructure and aiming to free hostages taken on October 7, 2023.
- The military ordered Gaza City's population to evacuate south for their safety amid ongoing strikes, while hundreds of thousands still remain in the densely populated city.

She described the chaotic circumstances as "insanity" and recounted a moment when a baby's heart rate fell to a critical level amid nearby explosions.
- The healthcare system in Gaza City faces collapse as airstrikes destroyed at least two clinics, forced shutdowns of hospitals including children's and eye centers, and caused widespread shortages of medicine, food, fuel, and staff.
