There must be a ceasefire
The Director-General warned that this bombing “clearly shows why there must be an immediate ceasefire.”
Tedros attached his post to a video clip filmed by a WHO team official from inside Al-Aqsa Hospital.
In this video, Sean Casey says that he had just left the recovery room where there was a 9-year-old boy named Ahmed.
While holding back his tears, this WHO official added that the child who was seriously injured in the bombing “was treated with anesthesia only to alleviate his suffering while he was dying.”
He explained that Ahmed “was crossing the street in front of the shelter where his family was located when the neighboring building was bombed. He (the child) was hit by shrapnel and debris, and his brain tissue was damaged.”
“No one can do anything for him,” Casey continues sadly, “and like a lot of cases here, there’s no capacity to care for complex neurological cases and complex trauma cases.”
The organization’s official confirms while speaking to the camera while walking through the hospital’s corridors, “The operating rooms operate 24 hours a day, and the emergency department operates much beyond its capacity.”
Casey concludes the touching video by saying, “This situation is unacceptable… This matter must stop.”
