An American nurse in Gaza City films a hospital’s collapse as Israeli forces surround it

As Israeli troops bear down, the health care system in Gaza City is coming under fire and being pushed toward collapse. Nearly two weeks into Israel’s latest ground offensive on Gaza’s largest city, two clinics were destroyed by airstrikes, two hospitals shut down after being damaged and others are barely functioning, with medicine, equipment, food and fuel in short supply. Vaughan is a nurse from Seattle and volunteered through the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association since July. She kept a video diary of her time at al-Quds, occasionally posting on social media. Story by Nicholas Rushworth.
