After working tirelessly at the hospital over the last six months, I've taken this hard decision, albeit with reluctance.
Please watch, share, and help if you can. My dream is simply within your hands.

After days of contact, she sent the story just to shock me that my words were not included

Unprofessional and disgraceful from you and your staff!
Hello all,
I am Dr Khalid Abu-Habel from Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp, fled to Deir al-Balah with no shelter and had to leave my hospital, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, under intensive firing and shooting around.
Remember: Hundreds of patients left with no care.
📸from the hospital
This is where I currently work; the on-ground hospital at Khadija School in Deir al-Balah.
I remember a mother of five kids telling me," All of my children are now with disabilities. My husband has become an amputee. They need food and mental support. I'm sick of this."💔💔
Today is Palestinian Children’s Day, marked this year after Israel killed thousands of kids and robbed many of their parents.
Volunteers in Deir al-Balah are trying to bring some cheer to newly orphaned children, including amputees.

Enraging, harrowing, and unacceptable.
My manager at Khadamat Al-Maghazi Football Club Yousef Al-Heela was killed yesterday in Al-Maghazi.
He's been coaching me for years and teaching me a lot on the pitch.
I am beyond heartbroken💔💔💔
Different story, the same passion!
I will never stop pursuing my dreams even if I'm living a war. No one and nothing can stop me.
Good morning from Al-Maghazi, Central Gaza.
The sound bombs thrown on us in central Gaza have caused an immeasurable pain to most patients with mental illnesses.
We're dealing with many PTSD cases, especially children, who are now being given extra treatment.
Brutal and barbaric acts of terror!
Link in bio🔗
The reporting continues as Israeli F16 warplanes threw a considerable number of sound bombs on central Gaza, especially on the Sea Street.
It's horrific and unimaginable. Zoom in to see the bomb and warplane while hitting the sky.
The sound is traumatising!
We're now receiving casualties at the hospital.
To those who don't know, this type of rockets is explosive, which causes severe harm to the body and leaves people slowly die moaning from their pain.
We are most of the time unable to help since we don't have the capacities.
Breaking 🚨:
Israel has just now launched a massive rocket to bomb the northern parts of Deir al-Balah in Al-Zwayda area.
Fights continue to be close from those parts, which bodes badly that Deir al-Balah is under the threat of an invasion.
It's only 100m away from us.
Couldn't have a sleep yesterday with my family as several houses were flattened, streets filed with casualties, and airstrikes didn't stop in Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp. I had to go out and treat patients out in the streets.
After having no sleep, I have to head to my work.
Al-Shifa Complex, where I used to have my best-ever moments in medicine, has just turned into this. Yesterday, Al-Aqsa Hospital was attacked. Now, Al-Shifa is like this!
What's really left? Where are the human rights?

Finding little happiness under bombardment and during my work at Al-Aqsa Hospital. An uncle for the very first time.
Sham is your new princess to the world that's born under Israeli attacks.❤
Have been at the hospital since the morning with my sister as her health has deteriorated in a trice.
Please pray for her and her little 3-month princess. Both are sick!
Abubaker was also with me earlier in the day as I went to my work at Khadij Girls School, the on-ground hospital.
The attack happened exactly in front of the gate of the school where I was. I don't know how I survived.
This is the second attack at it. I was there both times.
Alhamdulillah. Yesterday, I survived a nearby assassination in our street. I was at the same place where it happened minutes before the attack.
A drone rocket killed 1 and wounded 7 others. If I stayed a little bit longer, I'd be killed.
Keep doing your part until this ends❤️
I am at the hospital since the morning. My sister is pregnant and will likely give birth to her little princess today or tomorrow.
Without medical aid, I am trying to calm her as much as I can as fears sink her in.
She tells me she doesn't like being a mother at all now.💔💔
My football teammate in Khadmat al-Maghazi FC has been killed. What a talented defensive midfielder he was!
I am losing some of my football life. This is unbearable!

I was always against appearing on social media as a doctor because I don't love to be known and the world has already failed us.
But not finding appreciation while checking on patients under unbearable circumstances pains me.
I only am here to tell the agony of my patients ♥️
When I now do my work, I miss my colleague, Dr Khalid Abu-Owaimer, who was killed by Israel last week.
And I am asking myself, "Will I be the next one?"
Dr Khalid, may Allah put mercy on you.

I don't know why I am still here working. I feel stuck and helpless, and even when I asked people to help me, I was left disappointed.
Sometimes, it doesn't go your way. But God will help me.

It's really a tough job to treat such traumatised, brutalised, and harmed civilians. They have a lot to vent, much more to speak about, and an agony to share.
However, we're here for them.
Day 224, hello from Deir al-Balah
Please don't forget to help:
Yesterday, the mini-tournament at the on-ground hospital at Khadija School in Deir al-Balah in Gaza was rounded off.

I have been working on a systemic lupus erythematosus case at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for the past 14 hours. I haven't slept alongside some doctors.
It's distressing and worrying to see such spread of diseases getting to this level. The patient's chances to stay alive are poor
🗣👨⚕️“Hospitals have been repeatedly targeted since the war broke out. Al-Aqsa Hospital was attacked twice,” says Dr Khalid Abu-Habel.
Speaking with journalist

on the forced use of schools as hospitals.
You can read below👇
🚨: Schools, where thousands of displaced are taking shelter, are homes to infections.
When a case of hepatitis A or scabies appears and comes to us for treatment, we receive 500 the next day.
It's utterly hard to isolate these cases amid such circumstances.
Thank you for your lovely messages. I appreciate it.
I can't really share her name as I am a professional who doesn't look at these things.
Remember I have lives to save, not filtered journalism to look at.
Thanks again for every single one of you.

The fact that we're always telling the outside world that people here are in desperate for medicines without receiving a response is disheartening.
We just need an urgent solution.
Please read the story below!
🗣“The lack of medicines means more complications,” Dr
@KhaHabel
said. “And more complications mean more deaths.”

When you are in a school to provide medical services for severe war injuries and the school has never been a good place for such missions, then you know what a huge responsibility coming for you
Imagine you are also under intense bombardment and fear?!
I won't stop. I love them
Eid Al-Fitr entertainment activities continue to take place at the on-ground hospital, where I work at the moment, for young girls who have become newly orphaned.
Video emerges amputees and war injuries among children.
Poor, poor kids 💔💔
The evacuation of people from Rafah to Deir al-Balah means we need many more on-ground hospitals to absorb the number of casualties we receive every day.
We are literally suffering with our limited capacity, especially after the closure of the crossings.
We are helpless now!
Unimaginable that a limited medical staff have to work on more than 350 injuries over the past hours. Israeli tanks are heavily attacking the east of Al-Maghazi while levelling several houses on residents.
We simply need medical support at once to deal with this insanity.
“I myself can’t bear hearing their groans and cries during the night. They're going through hell..." Nurse Ghassan, my colleague, says.
Wounded war survivors in Gaza may live if Rafah reopens

I am at Khadija Girls School in Deir al-Balah now, used as a secondary medical services provider to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital following the recent firing nearby, where darkness and cold is killing patients.
Those, a lot, having platinum for internal fixation are being tortured 💔

It does mean to me a lot to ask my patients what they need from food and water.
Being a doctor doesn't only mean you care about their health, but first, it means you care about them as humans.

Been working at the hospital for over 24 hours.
Seen lots of pain among patients. One girl with a huge facial burn. Another in the intensive unit care due to debris fiercing her skull.
It's nerve-wracking!

🚨New update:
The patient is improving to some extent. No more spasms or inflammations.
Yet, exponential and uncontrollable blood pressure increase and general edema are new complications emerged on her.
Our report is that she must have a permit outside to survive.
Hundreds of patients, no rest at all❌
It's been a hectic and bloody day inside the hospital. We're here for them, now and always.

I am deeply sorry for your loss,

My heart goes out to you for this horrible loss!
Alhamdulillah. My aunt's family has been wiped out.
Thanks to the politicians for waiting for another day to let that happen, and yet more and more will be killed.
My friend and journalist

has been diagnosed as a patellar tendonitis, which requires him to take rest for 10-14 days.
He is also having an acute gastritis, it may take longer for him to recover.
Now, I have been working on her for the past week. It's a tiring and trying work with a lot of sensitivity.
Yet, I won't lose hope she will survive. I am confident she will. Please pray for her always. I am truly exhausted, but I am there for her and all the patients.

Remember he's only 17💔
Have been at the hospital since yesterday; all what we see is more serious injuries coming after intensified bombardment in the western outskirts of Deir al-Balah and central Gaza.
Pregnant women story hits harder to believe as they are concerned about only a can of milk!
🚨Update on this case:
More hours of work on the 20s woman as her health is still deteriorating. We've been working on her case for the past 4 days.
Inflammations, spasms, and high temperatures are expected complications. With no enough medical aid, it seems hard to save her.

A few weeks ago, a house was levelled up exactly adjacent to the school I work in. I was there and miraculously survived.
Look at the scale of damage here! I am just terrified!
Even when we left hospitals, we are being attacked.

🚨: People are now heading back quite north from Rafah to Deir al-Balah and central Gaza. If this means something, it means the lack of hygiene and protection.
The area will be bursting at the seams, meaning more infections will spread and more casualties will be in a bomb
"We see hope in you"
I am deeply grateful for your glorious event and unmatched support.
I really don't have words to describe my happiness amid such terrible circumstances.
Love and hope from Gaza ♥️🇵🇸
Abubaker has been at the hospital for the past two days, unable to stand on his feet.
We will be working on his case this week. With him obliged to 4 medications and several IM doses.
Pray for him and wish him a speedy recovery ❤️
With Ramadan coming, the crisis is looming. Most wounded at hospitals will not be able to fast and enjoy the whole month.
It's a clear symptom of the genocide in Gaza.
But don't do some bamboozlement and say Ramadan is a curse because Allah has given us exemptions!
It's good to remind the world that my colleague at the hospital, a nurse, Tariq Abu-Atta was killed alongside his family of 5 children and his wife.
Weeks ago Dr Khalid and now Nurse Tariq. The question is simply," Who's next?"
