00:00As a result of this hit, fire broke out in this building, several wards were completely demolished and there was extensive damage across the entire hospital with damage to buildings, structures, windows, ceilings across the medical center.
00:14This specific building, because it's an older building, was evacuated by us in the past few days and the department that was directly hit was empty at the time it was hit.
00:24Other departments across the medical center had patients in them, were hit and we have 40 injured people from people who were in the hospital at the time.
00:36The vast majority of these staff and patients are lightly wounded from broken glass, falling ceilings and other effects.
00:45They were all treated in our emergency department.
00:47Soroka Medical Center is currently closed for action except for emergency life-saving procedures.
00:53This is a result of us being unclear about what the structural damage actually is.
00:59In the next few hours we have engineers from the medical center, from the home front command and other factors examining every building.
01:08As we determine what each building's structural damage is, we will be able to know how soon we can return to activities.
