Australian doctors describe ‘doomsday’ scene in Gaza hospital
Gold Coast general physician Dr Nada Abu Alrub and Brisbane anaesthetist Dr Saya Aziz are operating in one of Gaza’s last functioning hospitals, al-Shifa, as part of a humanitarian mission for the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association.
The pair are providing urgent medical care amid constant Israeli attacks around the hospital where they are working and threatening text messages warning them they’ll soon be arrested.
Speaking to SBS News, they say no one “who’s walking around in Australia” could actually begin to imagine the scenes in the war-torn territory.
“You walk in, and it’s like an abattoir,” said Aziz.
Sending a message to those back home, Aziz said, “there is time to save Gaza”, urging people in Australia to “speak up” and do more.
