In Gaza, Even a Hospital Is a Battlefield
[New York Times] Neil Genzlinger - "Gaza E.R.," a documentary by Olly Lambert to be broadcast Tuesday on PBS, looks at the goings-on inside Shifa Hospital, the largest in Gaza, where heavily armed thugs try to bully doctors in the hallways and gun battles are regular occurrences. The film, which picks up a few months after Hamas came to power in early 2006, captures such episodes and more, as various factions and families carry their disputes inside the hospital when their wounded are brought in for treatment. The hospital becomes a battleground even as it is running out of medicine and supplies, Hamas seeming not up to the task of governing.
