New York  (Quds News Network)- Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, an American trauma and critical care surgeon, stood before the United Nations Security Council with a message too painful to ignore. “I’m here to bear witness to the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system,” he said. “To the targeting of my colleagues. To the erasure of a people.” Dr. Sidhwa volunteered twice in Gaza during the genocide. He worked at both the European Hospital and Nasser Medical Complex. What he saw, he said, would haunt him forever. “Children didn’t die because their injuries were unsurvivable,” he told the Council. “They died because we had no blood, no antibiotics, not even the most basic supplies you’d find in any large hospital anywhere else in the world.” For five weeks, he treated patients. Not a single one was a combatant. “My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel in their hearts and bullets in their brains,” he said. “Pregnant women whose pelvises were obliterated. Fetuses cut in two while still in the womb.” He said Gaza’s health system has not collapsed by accident. It was “systematically dismantled” through a sustained military campaign that violated international humanitarian law. Between his two missions, he saw a noticeable change in the people’s health. Hunger and starvation had worsened. Malnutrition was visible in children’s health. On March 18, the Israeli army violated the ceasefire, Dr. Sidhwa said. That same morning, he witnessed the worst mass casualty event of his career. “Nasser Medical Complex received 221 trauma patients in a few hours. Ninety were dead on arrival. Nearly half were severely injured children,” he said. “No health system on earth could cope with this.” Most of his patients were under the age of 12. “Their bodies were shattered by explosives. Torn apart by flying metal. Many died. Those who lived walked away to find their entire families gone.” Dr. Sidhwa previously published a report in The New York Times. It surveyed 65 American healthcare workers who served in Gaza. “Eighty-three percent of them said they saw children shot in the head or chest,” he said. “I personally treated 13 such cases at the European Hospital in just two weeks.” "Parents memorise their children's clothing to identify remains," he said. Exposing the genocide's psychological toll he added that nearly half of Gaza's children are now suicidal, asking, "Why didn't I die with my family?" Dr. Sidhwa implored the Council to enforce seven measures, including an arms embargo, calling their inaction "a testament to collapsed conscience" as Gaza's last doctors and a generation of Palestinians face annihilation. "You cannot claim ignorance," he concluded, "when children no longer want to live."
