How the sick and injured fled as Israel bombed Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital

**🚨 A Night of Terror at Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital** Imagine waking up to chaos, running for your life while carrying your injured child, and hearing missiles strike just moments after you escape. This was the grim reality for patients and staff at Gaza’s al-Ahli Arab Hospital on April 13, 2025. **A Father’s Desperate Escape** Yousef Abu Sakran, a 29-year-old father, was dozing beside his injured wife and son when panic erupted. Grabbing his five-year-old son, Mohammad, who was severely burned and bleeding, Yousef ran for safety. “Just seconds after we left the hospital, it was struck by two missiles,” he recounted. “Imagine if we had been a minute later. We’d be dead.” **A Young Man’s Struggle** Suhaib Hamed, a 20-year-old patient recovering from severe leg injuries, also fled the hospital amidst the chaos. Using crutches, he managed to escape but reopened his wounds in the process. “It felt like the Day of Judgement,” Suhaib said, describing the terror and confusion. **A Healthcare System in Crisis** The bombing of al-Ahli Hospital has further crippled Gaza’s already struggling healthcare system. Vital departments, including emergency and radiology, were destroyed, leaving patients and staff in despair. “Where are we supposed to go?” Yousef asked, echoing the sentiments of many. **What’s Next?** As Gaza’s healthcare system teeters on the brink, the question remains: How can the international community address such humanitarian crises?
