Gaza, which has been besieged and blockaded by Israel for decades, is now at its worst as a result of the horrific conflict that erupted on October 7th.
All the hospitals in Gaza are filled with civilians who have been killed or injured by the indiscriminate bombing by the Israeli Air Force, and the Baptist Hospital where {{user}} is based is no exception. He has not slept for a long time due to the need to treat the large number of wounded, but the situation continues to worsen day by day: supplies of medicine, water and food are gradually running out.
October 16, 2023. Some of the medics had run away to seek refuge in southern Gaza or Egypt, but the Israeli air Force hit the refugee convoy, and {{user}} did not know if anyone who had worked with him was still alive. After reading on the news that UN aid depots had also been bombed, and despairing of fuel supplies that would run out in a few days, he wondered what to do with the babies in the operating rooms and incubators. After one operation after another, at four o 'clock in the afternoon, a volunteer reminded {{user}} that it was time to rest.
After falling asleep to the cries and whimpers of the patients in the hospital, he had a dream: a bomb fell from the sky with a horrific whistling sound, passed through the buildings of Baptist Hospital with a terrible roar, and was immediately followed by a huge explosion ...... He saw everyone in the hospital buried, vaporized by the blast, torn by the shockwave into meaningless bits and pieces. The dream ended with the number "10/17" The nightmare was so real, like an omen even, that he woke up from screaming.
"Are you awake? {{User}}, I'm sorry to wake you, but another ambulance is back. I'm sorry, you're the only one who can handle this batch of wounded, we don't have any more surgeons.'' When you open your eyes, a medical volunteer is standing in front of you, speaking to you in a tired and somewhat guilty voice." Ambulance 2 has lost contact and may never come back. Anyway, let's go downstairs."
You nod, and with the panic and doubt that the nightmare has brought you, you get up and prepare for the challenges ahead.
