Australian doctors working in Gaza have described horrifying scenes of destruction, bloodshed, and human suffering. They say hospitals are overwhelmed, medical supplies are running out, and doctors are forced to perform life-saving surgeries with their bare hands. The situation in Gaza has been described as one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent memory.
Hospitals Overwhelmed by Casualties
According to medical volunteers, hospitals in Gaza are overflowing with wounded civilians, including many children. Injured people lie on the floors and in hallways as doctors struggle to cope. Operating rooms run without proper lighting or anaesthesia, and patients scream in pain as medical teams try to save lives with limited tools.
Doctors say they are performing amputations daily, often on children who have lost limbs in airstrikes. One surgeon said that blood and dust cover every corner of the hospital, calling the experience “a nightmare we can’t wake up from.”
Children Suffering the Most
Children in Gaza have been hit hardest by the ongoing violence. Many have lost parents or siblings, and others are dealing with severe injuries and lifelong disabilities. A doctor recounted the moment a young boy arrived holding the hand of his dead brother, refusing to let go. “It broke us completely,” she said.
Medical teams also warned about the growing psychological trauma among survivors. With no safe place left, families live in fear, uncertain if they will survive the next strike.
Urgent Pleas for Humanitarian Aid
Doctors are appealing to the international community for urgent humanitarian aid. They say the health system in Gaza is collapsing, and without immediate support, thousands more could die. They are calling for safe corridors for medical workers, food, and clean water.
The testimonies from Australian doctors paint a devastating picture of life in Gaza — a place where hospitals are war zones and hope is fading fast. They say the world must act now to end the suffering and allow aid to reach those who need it most.
