Four volunteer doctors describe their harrowing experiences at the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza. Thoracic surgeon Ehab Massad can’t forget the images of children who have lost their families in bombings. The physicians express feeling inadequate despite their efforts, as the conditions are dire with overwhelming injuries and deaths. They eagerly anticipate future missions despite the emotional toll. The ongoing blockade has severely limited medical supplies in Gaza, compounding the struggle to care for patients effectively, highlighting the dire need for more medical support.
It is impossible to get over the scenes of starving, shocked, and injured children, thoracic surgeon Ehab Massad says.
I could never forget that, ever,
The helpless feeling of being outside Gaza and watching the news is gone now; at least I feel like I'm doing my part.
I am hoping that there will be more, longer trips to Gaza in the future.
