Doctors and medical staff on the ground in Gaza painted a grim picture for UK members of parliament on Tuesday, describing the dire healthcare crisis gripping the besieged enclave.
During a meeting with MPs and the International Development Committee, they shared firsthand accounts of overcrowded hospitals, severe shortages of medical supplies, and relentless violence impacting civilians.
British professor Nizam Mamode, a former transplant surgery specialist who had spent time in the Nasser Hospital, which Israeli forces raided and besieged in February, spoke of his experience in Gaza. He told the MPs that the scenes he witnessed "resembled Hiroshima and Nagasaki," with devastated landscapes and buildings reduced to rubble. Mamode was in Gaza from mid-August to mid-September and said much of what he saw was distressing, adding that basic medical equipment, such as swabs, sterile gloves and paracetamol were unavailable in Gaza.
