Gazan Doctors call for Reopening of Rafah crossing

Doctors in the war-torn Gaza Strip have implored Israel to reopen the Rafah crossing for them to receive adequate medical supplies needed for treating those injured in the Israeli air raids. Head of the Emergency Department at the hospital said many of the patients were burned in the attack, but the hospital lacks almost everything essential to treat them.

Most of them are dangerously injured in the chest and in the abdomen, need operation, need more care in the Intensive Care Unit. The doctor said he has repeatedly stressed the urgent need to reopen the Rafah crossing to ensure medical supplies can reach hospitals.
