ANKARA (AA) – Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), a French humanitarian healthcare organization, said on Sunday that the majority of the young Palestinians it received at Jenin Hospital in the West Bank had life-threatening bullet wounds in their abdomens and lower thighs.
"Most of the patients we receive have been shot in the abdomen and legs," Dr. Pedro Serrano, head of the hospital's intensive care unit that is supported by MSF or Doctors Without Borders, said in a statement posted on the social media platform X.
“Some have had their liver and spleen shattered, while others have severe vascular injuries,” Dr. Serrano added.
“We had one very sad case of a guy who was walking just outside the hospital entrance when he was shot in the head by a sniper,” he added, noting that “the violence is ongoing and most patients we receive have life-threatening injuries.”
