At first glance, you might think that these are simply tents belonging to camps of displaced families who have lost their homes.
But sadly, the truth is far more horrific…
These tents are not a displacement camp; they are a field hospital trying to provide medical care to an entire city.
These field hospitals were established as an emergency measure after Israel destroyed most of the hospitals here, leaving patients and the wounded forced to receive treatment inside tents that lack even the most basic requirements for healthcare.
The patients and the wounded here are living in catastrophic and terrifying conditions; without the most basic services, without the necessary resources to treat them, and without anything to protect their bodies from the bitter cold of the night that gnaws at them, night after night, little by little.
We are living here without even the most basic human rights. Instead, we feel as though we are being treated like animals, not as human beings who have the right to treatment, dignity, and life.
