AMMAN, Jordan — When Zain Abu Obeid died on Sunday at the last functioning hospital in Rafah, there was no one to collect the 7-year-old boy’s body from the morgue.
He had been injured in an Israeli airstrike that killed his entire family, according to members of a U.S. medical team trapped at the European Hospital following Israel’s closure of the nearby border crossing.
The only light is coming from outside," Dr. Ammar Ghanem, vice chair of the Syrian American Medical Society, said in a video that he filmed on Monday and sent to NPR.
Israel has told civilians to evacuate Rafah — where 1.3 million people who’ve fled fighting in other parts of Gaza have been crammed up against the Egyptian border.
According to the World Bank and the U.N., seven months of fighting has destroyed most of Gaza’s infrastructure and the imported fuel runs everything from hospital ventilators to bakery ovens.
Johnston, in a phone interview from the hospital, talked of flies infesting the operating room and the intensive care unit.
