British Surgeon Describes Horrors in Gaza: Dismembered Children, Starvation, and Attacks on Healthcare

Harrowing Experiences in Gaza

• 🏥 Dr. Nada Al-Hadithi, a British surgeon, spent a month at Nasser Hospital in Gaza treating civilians amidst the Israeli assault.
• 💔 She described witnessing patients who were mutilated, dismembered, and burnt alive, with many of her patients being children.
• 👶 A six-week-old baby with a bullet wound fracture and a 10-year-old girl named Janna, who needed an amputation after being shot in the knee, are among the severe cases.
• 😔 The doctor also shared the tragic story of two young boys, Khalid and another, who were bombed in their tent, losing their parents and siblings, and later succumbing to their injuries.

Attacks on Healthcare and Humanitarian Aid

• ⚠️ Dr. Al-Hadithi detailed attacks on healthcare workers, including a scrub nurse named Ahmed who was killed with his three children by a quadcopter drone.
• 🩺 Another colleague, a plastic surgeon named Ahmed al-Makada, was shot with his hands bound behind his back.
• 🎗️ It is known that 1700 healthcare workers have been killed, abducted, tortured, or arbitrarily detained in Gaza.
• 🚫 The weaponization of aid relief sites is a significant problem, with Palestinians being shot while trying to collect food, leading to amputations and starvation.

Man-Made Famine and Starvation

• 🍽️ The starvation in Gaza is man-made, with colleagues losing between 15 and 35 kg due to lack of food and collapsing at work, yet still offering food to others.
• 📉 The number of food delivery sites has drastically reduced, forcing people to travel long distances and wait in dangerous conditions for aid.
• 🍼 Organizations are being charged exorbitant amounts to bring in essential items like baby formula, which is a banned item.
• 💔 Patients are slowly starving to death, even while admitted to hospitals, due to the severe lack of food and feed.

Call for Action and Global Responsibility

• 📢 Dr. Al-Hadithi believes the world is recognizing the unfolding events, with global mobilizations against what a commission of inquiry calls a genocide.
• 🗣️ She emphasizes that Palestinians must control their own narrative and have a voice in conversations about their future.
• 🌍 World leaders are urged to take immediate action through sanctions or arms embargoes to stop the genocidal approach and the unlawful killing of Palestinians.
• 💪 Global citizens are encouraged to use their voices, votes, and consumer power to advocate for change and not be complicit.
