3 Weeks in Gaza as a Doctor - Dr. Mohammad Abdelfattah

Colonial Outcasts

Dr. Mohammad Abdelfattah, an American Palestinian critical care physician in Los Angeles, describes his experience volunteering at the European Gaza Hospital. He describes the unfathomable conditions, injuries, heart wrenching suffering of families, the cruelty of Israel's boot on the necks of Gaza in even the smallest facets of life, but even more important: the superhuman strength, faith and resilience of Gaza's native doctors able to witness such horror daily and maintain a personal connection with every single patient they treat. Dr. Abdelfattah describes his journey from the airport in Egypt through the Sinai, the harassment and bureaucracy from Egyptian authorities as an institutionalized tactic of discouraging Western aid to Gaza and the life-altering experience of walking through an ICU in Gaza that would horrify any medical worker.
