The reporter said that Ibn Al-Nafees Hospital, Jubar Hospital, Arbin Hospital, Zamalka Hospital, Enkaz Rouh Hospital (Saving a Soul), Dar Al Shifa Hospital, al-Anwar Hospital, Al-Kahf Hospital, and the Medical Center in Beit Sawa are out of service, either partially or completely as a result for the direct bombardment.

According to the reporter, these hospitals were receiving the injured and victims of the bombardment that is targeting the area.
