The kind of injuries, the severity of the injuries, the types of bone loss, and the kind of infections we faced with the Gaza patients are beyond I’ve seen before,” says Dr. Hasan Abuhejleh, consultant orthopedic surgeon at Hamad Hospital. In recent days, they added, “the closure of Rafah Crossing has abruptly halted all medical evacuations of critically ill and injured patients outside Gaza.” CNN has not yet received a response from Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories to its request for comment on the rejected medical evacuation requests. “If I went to the hospital, I’ll die, not recover or heal,” she says.
