A doctor documents the impact of war on the children of Gaza.


Dr. Ahmad Yousaf, an American pediatrician and director of an intensive care unit in Arkansas, recently went on a medical mission to Gaza to help provide advanced healthcare. However, his experience far exceeded his expectations as he witnessed the devastating impact of the war on medical workers and civilians, especially children. Dr. Yousaf volunteered with MedGlobal, a US-based nonprofit, and spent three weeks at one of Gaza's last functioning hospitals. He documented the severe toll of the conflict, including the challenges faced by medical staff treating trauma casualties. The hospital operated at three times its capacity, lacking critical supplies, and many patients, including children, died from their injuries. Dr. Yousaf's reflections shared a grim reality, with officials reporting thousands of Palestinian children killed and hundreds of healthcare workers lost. His accounts paint a distressing picture of life in Gaza, reflecting the ongoing dire situation.
