Dr. Mohammed Mustafa: You know, when you go to Gaza, especially for someone like me, as a fluent Arabic speaker working in the emergency department, I’m not a surgeon. So I’m not up there in the operating theatre where they bring you a dismembered injured person to operate on. I’m right there in the thick of it when hundreds of bodies come in and there’s body parts of children wrapped in blankets. There’s mothers with plastic bags with body organs and parts that are just liquid form. And there’s women and children screaming and then you have to step over children as they’re bleeding out to death on the floor. You’re getting, because there’s no there’s no triage, people are grabbing your shoulder left and right, please see my daughter, please see my mum. And you don’t know which way to look and which way to go and you’re literally seeing all of these people on the floor. You have limited equipment, limited staff, and people are dying all around you. And you go over there to treat one person. And while you’re treating somebody, other people are dying because you made that conscious decision to go treat that person and leave those people on the floor, these patients that we’d seen there, four days ago in the emergency department. They’re still languishing in the wards with no medicine, no antibiotics, no painkillers. And we’re going round and we’re putting in, because we’ve got a little bit of local anesthetic and we’re putting in blocks in people’s legs because their ankle is twisted the other way and we still don’t have the equipment to operate on them and the surgical list is so long. You know, you have someone with a broken leg in three, four different places, we’ve just got a splint on a no painkillers, and I’m sitting there and I’m putting in femoral blocks here and putting in a facial block here for someone who’s got half the face blown off in the wards, and I’m just walking and I just feel like. I’m like, is this all we’ve got, I’ve got this syringe of local anesthetic that I’m injecting to people’s nerves to numb them just for a few hours, because that’s all we’ve got. You know, and it’s people with the worst injuries that you can imagine people with 60-80% body burns and you know, you have kids with these kind of burns and when we have to change their dressings, first of all the bandages that we use because they’re banned, you know, they don’t allow us to bring in proper wound care dressing. So we’re using like your average bandage that you would use at home in a first aid kit to wrap a child with 80% body burns. So when you’re changing the dressing, you’re peeling off the skin from this child and there’s no painkillers and they’re screaming, they’re grabbing your hand, they don’t want you to do it and you know that if you don’t, they’ll die because they’ll get an infection. And even the antibiotics that we have for them are the wrong type of antibiotics, because all we’ve got is like three different types of antibiotics. Like this is just the carnage that is Gaza, the horror that’s been going on there for two years and you know, I just, I’m there and I’m thinking to myself like this can’t be it, like this, this, this can’t be the, what we call humanitarian aid to Gaza.
