The Director of Al-Hawari General Hospital in Benghazi, Abdul Rahman Al-Sharif, announced a high volume of stress due to a steep increase in the number of patients being admitted to the hospital with Coronavirus infection.
Al-Sharif said in a media statement that seven cases, presently in the intensive care unit, have been placed on ventilators, whilst 15 others were placed on external oxygen breathing units, stressing that there is no longer any space to accommodate new patients.
He added that the hospital is suffering from problems with electricity supply, along with services such as sanitation, lack of water and other basic needs, noting that the Hospital’s Emergency Room is still being inundated with new COVID-19 cases, regardless of the extreme conditions being experienced by the medical staff and patients alike, as he put it.
