Gaza Ambulance Driver Breaks Down In Tears, Video Goes Viral

Hamas’ weekend surprise attack on Israel was the result of at least 1,200 casualties and thousands of injuries. The Blast reported Tuesday afternoon that 40 of those casualties were of babies and young children.

President Joe Biden also confirmed that 14 Americans are among the dead and that American citizens are among those held hostage by Hamas.

The news has been emotional for many, as several celebrities and citizens have taken to social media to voice their concerns and opinions on the attack.

A video showing an ambulance driver in Gaza is now going viral. The driver, who has yet to be identified, was seen breaking down in tears as he sat in the driver's seat of an ambulance.

According to several reports online, the driver was emotional as he came to the realization that he could not save everyone and the weight of losing innocent lives was something he could not emotionally handle.

The video has been shared to X, formerly known as Twitter, several times, going viral.

Although the clip is a very emotional one, it has caused debate between X users.

Users on X immediately shared their own thoughts on the video, causing a heated debate online.

"Did he cry the same when innocent people in Israel were assassinated?," one user said.

While another expressed their own opinion, writing, "I feel his pain. Why do Palestinians have to endure so much suffering? Where are the authorities of Gaza? Why aren’t they protecting civilians?"

As one user wrote, "this man and the innocent I feel so sorry for but unfortunately they keep electing terrorists that want to see Israelis dead, going in mass raping and slaughtering - this is what you get."

Wednesday morning, CNN reported that Israel has stepped up its offensive in Gaza following Hamas’ surprise attack this past weekend, which has been the result of at least 1,200 casualties and thousands of injuries.

Per their report, "Since Israel began airstrikes on the Palestinian enclave Saturday at least 1,055 people have been killed in Gaza, including hundreds of children, women, and entire families, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. It said a further 5,184 have been injured."

The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza has warned that hospitals will soon run out of fuel, which is being used to operate generators. Without the fuel and without the generators, it will lead to “catastrophic” conditions in hospitals.

In retaliation for the attacks, Israeli jets have been attacking Gaza with hundreds of airstrikes, which has resulted in destroying homes and neighborhoods, trapping residents as many are now cut off from food and electricity.

“All basic services in Gaza depend on electricity, and it will not be possible to partially operate them with generators due to the prevention of fuel supplies through the Rafah gate,” the government media office said in a statement to CNN.

US President Joe Biden spoke out on Tuesday, pledging that the United States would make sure Israel has the tools needed to defend itself and is surging military assistance to it.

"We stand with Israel. And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack," Biden said in a statement. "There is no justification for terrorism. There is no excuse."

Biden also confirmed that 14 Americans are among the dead and that American citizens are among those held hostage by Hamas.
