A Young Surgeon Tries to Save Lives at a Crippled Gaza Hospital

GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 5 – An American surgeon warns that Gaza's healthcare system is nearly destroyed and the death rate of healthcare workers is 110 times higher than Ukraine's, reflecting a severe humanitarian crisis.

  • An interior view shows European Hospital in Khan Yunis destroyed, with experts describing Israel’s actions as a 'genocidal slaughter.'
  • Gaza Strip has seen the entire healthcare system destroyed, Sidhwa said, with hospitals overwhelmed and infrastructure decimated by ongoing violence.
  • Shifa’s staff now faces an overwhelmed caseload and malnutrition, with the hospital unable to feed its staff, prompting many to flee.
  • Researchers studying the first 24 days of October 2023 found no specific child death figures in Gaza, but some patients have died while waiting, indicating worsening conditions.
  • Officials report that no significant food has entered Gaza, and Israeli troops will soon surround Alsa Martyrs Hospital in Dear Alah, with hospital directors dead or in prison.
