A neurosurgeon who recently returned from Rafa and is preparing to go back to Gaza in a few weeks shared his experiences and motivations for working in the conflict-torn region. Despite having a family in North Carolina, the surgeon felt compelled to help the innocent people in Gaza due to the dire healthcare situation he witnessed.
Describing the collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza, the surgeon highlighted the severe shortage of medical supplies, medications, and functioning hospitals. Surgeries were often performed without proper anesthesia or pain medication, and basic necessities like water and electricity were lacking.
