Hadassah Hospitals in Ein Kerem and Mount Scopus have been receiving patients in recent hours from Soroka Medical Center, which was struck by rocket fire this morning. The patients are being admitted to various departments across both Hadassah campuses and will receive treatment according to their condition.

A woman from Be’er Sheva arrived by MDA ambulance at Hadassah Ein Kerem, where she was admitted by the medical and nursing staff. She gave birth just a few days ago and yet separated from her baby, choosing to leave him with his grandmother in the south.
“There’s no point in bringing him here after what happened this morning. I hope to return to him quickly after the good treatment at Hadassah.”

Describing the incident this morning, she recounts: “We heard the alarm, and before we even got out of bed in the maternity ward, everything exploded with a big boom. There were screams all around me and many in shock. It was a difficult moment – a very, very hard experience. The teams immediately started moving everyone to shelters and protected areas, then went through one by one to check on everyone’s condition after the impact. Some were released, and some, like me, were sent to Hadassah hospitals.”

Prof. Yoram Weiss, Director General of Hadassah, notes that so far about ten patients from Soroka have been admitted.
“We welcome the patients from the South with love and warmth and are available to support our colleagues at Soroka in every way. The patients went through a difficult ordeal but were treated with professional and sensitive care at Soroka. At Hadassah, we are here for them for any physical or emotional wounds they are experiencing.
