Apache helicopter is outside Al-Quds hospital, and it is shooting. I don’t know where because I’m trying to stay away from the windows right now. Other types of rounds. I think that would be either heavy artillery fire or tank rounds, just based on the sounds they’re making.
Things have escalated for sure. The biggest thing for me right now is that I am being asked by the WHO to evacuate to Al Shifah Hospital. And again, based on my logistical – again I don’t have military experience, but I have natural disaster operational experience, and I think that this is a mistake, because I think it will put my life in danger by making me go through fire lines, because right now we’re completely surrounded by the occupation forces and they are circling the hospital using drones, other types of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), explosive machines, and obviously the ground soldiers. They did manage to shoot into the ambulance bay this evening and there are some new bullet holes in some of the windows within that alleyway. I will be moving to one of the more secure locations within the hospital to sleep tonight, and I’ve been spending the last hour just packing up my food and my personal belongings. I am doing okay. I just; it would be really great if people who have contacts within the WHO could listen to what I’m saying as far as a safety report goes, since I am on the ground, and I am here. Sending a convoy to this hospital to pick me up to take me to another target zone, I don’t think is a very effective or wise decision because, again, it puts me at risk of being shot of being targeted by a missile drop or any other sort of explosive device. I also don’t know Al-Shifah hospital as well as I know this hospital, and I know who I can trust here at this hospital. I have no doubt in my mind that Al-Shifah employees would take very good care of me. No doubt in my mind whatsoever. It is just the fact that I’ve been here at Al-Quds for three months and we already have an evacuation plan in place. So, if you or anybody out there has any ties to the UN or the WHO for them to just hear my appeal that evacuating me right now at this moment when we’re surrounded is not a safe idea for a convoy or for myself, that would be helpful thank you.
