Gaza Healthcare Collapse: Doctors Detail Catastrophic Conditions

Gaza's Healthcare Crumbles Amidst Airstrikes: Doctors Describe 'Near Impossibility' of Providing Care The ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have brought the healthcare system to its knees, leaving hospitals damaged and critically undersupplied. This has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, with countless casualties and widespread suffering. "Providing healthcare in Gaza is now a near impossibility," says Dr. Majed Jaber of the Gaza European Hospital. He describes scenes of chaos and devastation, with patients injured and dying due to lack of access to proper medical care and supplies. "Ambulances couldn't get in, couldn't get out. Patients were so scared." Dr. Morgan McMonagle, a trauma surgeon who recently spent six weeks at Nasser Hospital, corroborates the dire situation. He recounts operating on an 11-year-old girl shot by an Apache helicopter and receiving word that the child lost both legs. He adds, "Adding in lack of personal hygiene, lack of running water, lack of sewage... the wounds just don't heal." The video showcases the heartbreaking reality faced by civilians in Gaza, with images of destroyed buildings, injured individuals, and starving children. The restricted aid flow further exacerbates the malnutrition crisis. The sheer scale of destruction and human suffering underscores the urgent need for international intervention and humanitarian aid.
