In a letter addressed to the public, the medical staff of Nasser Hospital, in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, have said they are running the hospital under “harsh conditions”, with ailing and injured patients, many women and children, being treated while under Israeli bombardment, Al Jazeera reports.
“Tell the world about us. Tell them that we chose death rather than abandon our noble mission,” part of the letter read.
“Don’t say we’re heroes. Just say that we understood what it means to be truly human, and forgive us. We are not numbers,” it added.
The letter was first published by Al-Aqsa TV and later reported by Al Jazeera Arabic.
