Ben Taub Hospital may run out of food for patients

Houston-based Ben Taub Hospital is expected to run out of food for patients Tuesday night as a result of Hurricane Harvey's catastrophic flooding, according to ABC 13.

The hospital is seeking a food vendor to avert the crisis.

The hospital attempted to evacuate critical patients on Sunday night; however, the torrential rainfall and waist-high water prevented the ambulance from moving. The hospital still plans to evacuate 20 critical patients out of the 350 admitted, according to the report.
