“About 70% of the patients that we are seeing are women and children.”
Dr. Mimi Syed, Emergency medicine. Time in Gaza: Dec. 2024

Dr. Mimi Syed: What I’ve seen so far from August till now, I’ve had multiple patients children with gunshot wounds to the head and to the chest. I’ve spoken on other media, like I’ve had the CT scans and the X-rays to prove them. I’ve continued to see that and I can tell you just factually based and you can ask any colleague of mine – about 70% of the patients that we are seeing are women and children. All of the patients that we’ve seen are civilians. I have not seen any military or anybody carrying ammunition. I’ve not experienced that in my last trip, nor I have experienced it now. So I think anybody with any sensibility can make conclusions on that.
