The cease-fire is over, but not before it offered a glimpse of the war’s horrors to Palestinians in Gaza and people around the world.
As residents used the fragile truce to find aid, search for loved ones under the rubble, and head home to survey the destruction, a particularly disturbing scene emerged.
Seen in a video that moves through the abandoned and disarrayed hallways of the pediatric intensive care unit at Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital in northern Gaza were several babies whose unattended bodies lay on separate hospital beds. A blurred version of the video was shared widely on social media this week, a grim and graphic contrast to other scenes of families reunited as hostages and prisoners were freed.
In a piece he reported, Mohammed Baalousha, a journalist with the Emirati TV channel Al-Mashhad, said he found the decomposing infants when he entered the pediatric ICU in the health facility in Gaza City. The hospital’s staff and critically ill patients were forced to evacuate in early November as the Israeli military focused its ground assault on the city, with hospitals under fire.
NBC News obtained raw footage from the channel and has reviewed its contents.
Facts are facts. You’re reaching for something that isn’t there.
To be fair, every comment here is blaming Israel, and nobody is blaming Hamas for any of it. In fact, several commentors are just repeating Hamas propaganda as facts.
And how did Hamas male Israel forcefully evacuate a hospital and leave babies to die? There’s still no proof there was even a command center there.
The software’s name is quite prophetic. Actual lemmings.
