We are forced to prioritize—if there is no chance that a patient will survive, we leave them to die so that another patient can take the bed.
Summary: (see link for full testimony): Three Palestinian doctors describe the catastrophic collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system amid Israel’s siege and bombardment in the first 3 weeks of the war. Hospitals face critical shortages of fuel, medicine, water, and equipment — problems that predate October 7th but have dramatically worsened. Doctors are forced into impossible triage decisions: withholding resuscitation, prioritizing younger patients, and letting some die so others may have a bed. Dr. Hammam Alloh, who described stopping a patient’s resuscitation because no ventilator was available, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on November 11th. All three doctors call for an end to occupation and a free Palestine.
