The hospitals of Loop have been subjected to a situation “unbearable” by war between Israel and the Islamist group Hamasand have been forced to practice a “medieval medicine”, denounced a British doctor.
British gastroenterologist Khaled Dawas, of Palestinian parents, who recently spent two weeks volunteering in Gaza hospitals, said it is “absolutely correct” describe what is practiced in these medical centers as “a medieval medicine.”
Dawas was invited to accompany a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, from whom he said he expected “decisive leadership to end suffering and destruction”.
The specialist spent two weeks in January and another two weeks in April in hospitals in the Gaza Strip as part of a team sent by two humanitarian NGOs.
In Gaza, hospital staff see arrivals every day of “constant volume of dying people and corpses. No human being is capable of tolerating that.” said the 54-year-old doctor.
Doctors and nurses “They continue working, but you can see the effect of all that. “Everyone is extremely overwhelmed by what they are doing.”he added.
Dawas described a widespread scenario of postoperative infections that generate the risk of amputations, lack of antibiotics and sterilization material.
“There are disposable instruments that I use in the United Kingdombut what [los médicos de Gaza] they use 10 or 20 times”said.
Among the wounded, he said, there are “a large population of women and children, but also young men, between 16 and 24 years old, who have apparently become legitimate targets.”
The British doctor said he hopes to return to Gaza soon. “I feel guilty for being able to leave. My colleagues who work there cannot leave, they have no other option,” she lamented. “I hope that when I return there will be a ceasefire, because witnessing all this is unbearable,” he said.he pointed out.
