Israeli accounts, including that of the Israeli Prime Minister's spokesperson Ofir Gendelman, shared a video claiming that the Indonesian hospital in Gaza had no power outage, contradicting Palestinian claims. They cited illuminated rooms in the footage as evidence.
Blackout Crisis: Total Power Outage at the Indonesian Hospital
Misbar investigated the allegation and found that the video does not prove that the Indonesian hospital is still powered. Upon closer examination of the footage, it becomes evident that there is no lightning at the entrance and surrounding areas of the hospital. Moreover, the leaked light from some windows appears dim and white, indicating the use of battery-operated LED lights to illuminate main departments and corridors, as reported by Anas Al-Sharif, the journalist present at the Indonesian hospital.
Misbar additionally examined Al-Jazeera's live broadcast, showcasing journalist Anas Al-Sharif's footage from inside the hospital wards on Saturday nigh, November 11. The live broadcast vividly revealed a total power outage at the hospital, capturing the arrival of multiple injuries and depicting doctors attempting to examine the wounded using mobile phone lights. Additionally, maintenance staff were seen striving to illuminate the reception area by operating a flashlight on the ceiling.
Misbar contacted the journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who confirmed that the situation at the Indonesian hospital remains dire, exacerbated by fuel shortages. He mentioned that due to these challenges, doctors are unable to conduct surgeries for the injured. Additionally, Al-Sharif clarified that the light observed in the circulated video originated from battery-operated flashlights installed only in the main departments and corridors of the hospital.
Doctor Confirms Electricity Outage at the Indonesian Hospital
Dr. Essam Nabhan, the head of the nursing department at the Indonesian hospital, confirmed to Misbar that the hospital is currently facing a complete electricity outage. He mentioned that the hospital's generators, which provide light, operate for only four hours, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. After these hours, they use batteries.
Dr. Nabhan pointed out that they are examining injuries and attempting to treat them using mobile phone lights. Additionally, he shared recent photos with Misbar taken during the previous night, serving as evidence of the ongoing power outage inside the Indonesian hospital.
Israeli Forces Target Hospitals in Gaza Strip
The occupying army persistently targets hospitals and their surroundings in the Gaza Strip, evidenced by recent Israeli airstrikes near the Indonesian hospital and other strikes close to Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
Dr. Muhammad Zaqout, the General Director of Hospitals in the Ministry of Health, highlighted the danger of power outages in hospitals. These outages threaten the lives of the injured and displaced individuals within Gaza's hospitals.
Misleading Israeli Claims of Palestinians Faking Their Deaths
The circulation of these allegations is part of a wider media campaign orchestrated by Israeli accounts. They accuse Palestinians of staging and fabricating scenes of victims. These accounts widely use the hashtag #Pallywood since October 7, coinciding with the initiation of the Palestinian resistance's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. It is crucial to highlight that Misbar has systematically debunked numerous of these allegations, refuting accusations of Palestinians fabricating tragedies. A comprehensive report debunking these claims is available through the provided link.
