Doctors Faint in Gaza Operating Rooms from Hunger as Minds and Bodies Collapse
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Doctors are fainting inside Gaza’s operating rooms from hunger and exhaustion. Surgeons are losing focus mid-surgery, continuing their work with tears in their eyes. Pediatricians hold dying infants in their arms, though they themselves haven’t eaten in days. Some doctors can no longer remember names or take accurate notes. Their memories are fading. Their minds are breaking. This is not an exaggeration. It is the daily reality of Gaza’s medical teams. Dr. Muneer Alboursh, Director General of the Ministry of Health, says the crisis has reached an unbearable point. “Even the doctors, those who are supposed to save lives, now need saving,” he said. In every hospital, bodies are silently collapsing. In every emergency room, medics are ignoring their own pain to treat the wounded. The siege and starvation no longer kill only the patients. They are killing the doctors too. The Ministry of Health in Gaza has announced five new deaths due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours. This raises the total number of famine-related deaths to 127, including 85 children. The ministry warned that the numbers will keep rising unless immediate humanitarian aid reaches the besieged strip. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the besieged Gaza Strip, resulting in tens of thousands of civilian casualties, mostly women and children, as well as an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive destruction of infrastructure.
