Paramedics work in Gaza strip During the war all day long to confront the large influx of people injured by the Israeli bombing, within the limits of their capabilities, which are diminishing every minute.
According to what one of the paramedics told Al Jazeera, they sort the cases upon their arrival to distribute them directly to the departments according to their severity and the care they require.
Some paramedics stand at the doors of hospitals to receive the arriving wounded, who are sometimes carried by others wounded like them after they have been cut off from all means due to the siege and destruction.
From time to time, one of them steals a few minutes to rest his body on a chair and drink water or tea if available, while talking about a break from work has become impossible, according to the paramedic.
Even if someone gets some rest, it is rest for the body and not the soul, according to the paramedic, who said that they receive cases like someone living in a nightmare, because they do not know who the next wounded or martyr will be.
Indeed, the paramedic was receiving a new batch of wounded people, and what he feared happened, according to him, as his father was among them.
In addition to the pressure of work, paramedics are trying to relieve the children pulled from under the rubble of their homes, by any means and whatever is available.
In pictures reported by Al Jazeera, a paramedic appeared trying to blow a medical glove into the shape of a balloon, to make children who came to receive treatment laugh.
There is another suffering experienced by health teams in Gaza, which is that they are no longer able to communicate with their families except through phones or correspondence, because they represent the first line in this crisis, as they say.
