Multiple international medical professionals working in Gaza, including British and Canadian doctors, are reporting a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
They describe treating children and teenagers who have been shot, often at food distribution sites, and witnessing severe malnutrition and starvation among patients, including babies. Doctors allege that Israeli soldiers are deliberately targeting civilians, with some claiming patterns of injuries suggest intentional wounding of children. The blockade and restricted aid have led to preventable deaths from hunger and untreated wounds, with medical staff themselves suffering from exhaustion and hunger.
Calls are growing for a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted aid access, and an end to the blockade to prevent further loss of life.
