Hospitals in Israel, particularly in the north, are establishing underground or fortified care facilities as tensions and fighting with militants in neighboring Lebanon escalate [acc66b94]. The Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, just 6 miles from the Lebanese border, has moved its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) underground to continue providing care during times of conflict. Other hospitals, such as Rambam in Haifa, have also created underground facilities with beds and medical equipment. The hospitals are preparing for potential conflict with Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group. The underground facilities not only provide safety but also protect critical departments from missile attacks [acc66b94]. The hospitals have been receiving Israeli soldiers wounded in the conflict with Hamas in Gaza, as well as residents injured in rocket attacks from Lebanon. The underground facilities in Israel are ready and prepared for the worst-case scenario, with staff members undergoing training exercises to familiarize themselves with working in the underground environment. While the underground facilities provide a sense of safety, they also present challenges such as acoustics and the need to navigate new locations for different departments. Despite the difficulties, healthcare workers remain confident in their ability to handle the situation and provide the best care possible [acc66b94]. However, for young patients like 4-year-old Hadar receiving dialysis treatment, being underground means missing out on the colorful and child-friendly decor of the regular units [acc66b94].
