00:00 The situation of the areas in Gaza remains very difficult.
00:03 Resources are as indispensable to life as water are very hard to get.
00:07 Moreover, the Israeli army continues its siege against civilians, including hospitals, and
00:11 the possibility of a ground invasion is of concern to Palestinians.
00:15 Our Tel Aviv correspondent Noor Harsine with the details.
00:20 A new storm hit the Gaza Strip and even though the weather is cold and wintry, but since
00:27 the very early hours of this morning and Palestinians, including Palestinian children, runs here
00:34 to the closest water tank that is serving the area to manage and refill the water barrels
00:41 or water tanks and take it to their homes.
00:46 The situation here in Rafah is deteriorating, especially that the Palestinians fear a very
00:52 near future ground invasion.
00:54 However, what is the highlight these days is actually what is happening inside the Al-Nasr
01:00 Hospital.
01:01 Now, the Al-Nasr Hospital is being subjected to continuous Israeli attacks and bombings.
01:08 After the Israeli forces surrounded the hospital, besieged the hospital, asked Palestinians to
01:15 leave the hospital, yes, some of them actually managed to leave the hospital, including medical
01:21 staff and journalists, but during their way to Rafah, the Israeli forces arrested a number
01:27 of the people that evacuated the Al-Nasr Hospital.
01:30 At the same time, the Israeli tanks shelled at the Al-Nasr Hospital.
01:35 One of the shells actually landed on a unit that was filled with patients.
01:42 This resulted in the killing of one patient and the injury of others.
01:46 Now inside the Al-Nasr Hospital, there is a number of patients, those who cannot walk,
01:51 those who cannot move around, still on their beds, and of course, a number of the medical
01:56 team refused to leave them.
