Arriving at Indonesian Hospital in Gaza, MER-C Team Immediately Treats Patients

VOA — Dr. Dany Kurniadi Ramdhan, a neurosurgeon who led the fifth MER-C EMT team, described their journey from Dair Balah to the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza as a challenging one. Via Zoom from Gaza, Dany described how his team had to pass through multiple Israeli checkpoints, some of which took up to an hour before they were finally allowed to continue their journey. Because of the many checkpoints, the usually short distance of about 15 kilometers took more than six hours. The fifth MER-C EMT team accompanied the World Health Organization (WHO) convoy during the trip. However, according to Dany, the MER-C group parted ways with the WHO team at al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City. From there, the MER-C team transferred to an ambulance and continued their journey to the Indonesian Hospital in Bait Lahiya. The MER-C team arrived there at around 4 p.m. local time on Friday (8/8). That night, four MER-C doctors had treated several patients who were victims of the Israeli bombing, including one baby who died. Four people suffered head trauma and some were injured by shrapnel.
