Australian physician Dr. Nada Abu Alrub has described 'nightmarish' conditions in Gaza's hospitals following her recent mission to the embattled territory. In a September 19 social media video verified by CGTN Stringer, the medical professional detailed overcrowded wards and dwindling supplies at al-Aqsa and al-Shifa hospitals, calling the humanitarian situation 'beyond words.'
'The scale of suffering in northern Gaza particularly defies description,' Dr. Abu Alrub told reporters, highlighting challenges faced by healthcare workers operating under constant bombardment. Local resident Mahmoud Al-Daks echoed these concerns while welcoming recent decisions by the UK, Canada, and other nations to formally recognize Palestinian statehood.
'We appreciate the symbolic support, but what we desperately need is real action to stop this war,' Al-Daks stated. The comments come as international pressure mounts for renewed peace negotiations, with Gaza's 2.3 million residents enduring their tenth month of conflict.
