The healthcare community has a responsibility to highlight the ongoing destruction in Gaza

Dabbagh, Hossein (2025) The healthcare community has a responsibility to highlight the ongoing destruction in Gaza. The BMJ.

Abstract

A month before Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, a doctor who worked with Médecins Sans Frontières at Gaza's Al-Awda hospital, was killed by an Israeli airstrike along with his colleagues, he wrote on a hospital whiteboard: “Whoever stays until the end will tell the story. We did what we could. Remember us.” 1 Doctors working in Gaza have made urgent pleas, saying that they feel abandoned by the world amid renewed Israeli airstrikes.2 More recently, the United Nations reported that several paramedics and rescue workers were killed and buried in a mass grave by Israeli forces in southern Gaza.3 Over 18 months of relentless attacks, thousands have died,4 and the healthcare infrastructure has been almost entirely dismantled.56 Access to vital medical supplies has been systematically restricted, and basic necessities for life—clean water, food, sanitation, and energy—have also been destroyed.
