Canadian doctor’s shocking observations from Gaza hospitals.
The Canadian doctor and surgeon who recently returned from the Gaza Strip called the treatment conditions in Gaza hospitals a disaster.
“In Gaza (hospitals) you have to decide who to save and who to leave.” This is the statement of a Canadian doctor and surgeon who served in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza for two weeks.
In an interview with CNN, Anas al-Qassim stressed that the medical system in Gaza is worse than I expected, pointing to the impossible decisions that the few remaining doctors in Gaza have to make in the face of a lack of medical equipment and treatment facilities.
This Canadian surgeon said “We had to put stitches in bulk and there was no order in stitching; There is a major lack of medical equipment, things like CT scan machines and essential medical supplies. In the field of medicine, we don’t even have painkillers and antibiotics…”
The medical system of Gaza faced major problems due to the years of siege by the Zionist regime before the war, but according to Anas al-Qassem, during the current war, it has reached the limit of 100% collapse due to the fierce attacks of Israel and the intensification of the siege conditions.
Since the start of the war on October 7, Israel has bombed hospitals and medical centers in Gaza hundreds of times. According to the Hamas media office, until the end of December, Israeli attacks killed 310 medical staff in Gaza hospitals and put 25 out of 36 hospitals in Gaza completely out of service.
