Norwegian Medical Doctor Reports on Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza

A Norwegian medical doctor and author has spoken out about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where tens of thousands of patients remain trapped without treatment. The doctor, who is also an expert on women’s and children’s health, shared his personal experience with the situation.

On November 5, 2023, Dr Maisara Azmi Al Rayyes, a 28-year-old Palestinian doctor, was killed in an Israeli military missile strike on his family home in Gaza City. The attack occurred just two months after the start of the latest assault on Palestine. Dr Al Rayyes had returned to Gaza after completing his master’s degree at King’s College London as a Chevening Scholar in 2019.

Since October 7, 2023, over 1,700 Palestinian healthcare professionals have been killed in Gaza. The most recent victim was paramedic Hussein Hassan Al-Samiri, who was killed in an Israeli air strike targeting ambulance crews in the al-Mawasi area. The strike occurred while Al-Samiri and his team were attempting to reach people wounded in a previous attack on tents sheltering displaced families.

According to reports, at least 71,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, with tens of thousands more still trapped beneath the rubble. The Gaza Ministry of Health has confirmed that many patients are in need of medical attention but are unable to receive it due to the ongoing conflict.

The doctor’s account highlights the risks faced by healthcare workers in Gaza, who continue to provide essential services despite the danger posed by Israeli attacks.
