The devastating effects of Israel’s siege on Gaza and the destruction of al-Shifa Hospital are highlighted in a new film produced by Zainab Walji. More than a year after the brutal assault, the hospital is now an empty shell with most buildings extensively damaged or destroyed. Survivors recount the tragedy of being trapped in the hospital during the siege, enduring a severe lack of food, water, healthcare, and sanitation. Patients were forced to relocate between buildings at gunpoint, with many bodies partially buried outside in shallow graves. This has left the facility non-functional, further limiting access to life-saving healthcare in Gaza. The film sheds light on the urgent need for restoring the hospital to provide essential medical services to the people of Gaza. Directed by Zainab Walji and filmed by Media Town in Gaza, the documentary captures the devastation of al-Shifa Hospital and emphasizes the impact on the healthcare system in the region.
