YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis is our second interview with Dr. Altalla, surgeon at the last fully functional hospital in Gaza, Al-Aqsa, which suffered an airstrike yesterday from the Israeli regime in their courtyard, killing 5+ and maiming others.
This was recorded weeks ago following the massacre at Al-Mawasi, the victims from which Dr. Altalla treated. So some of the information is dated but the overall value of the information concerning the medical situation in Gaza is beyond relevant.
The internet connection was very spotty at best and required hours of editing to make it viewable. Dr. Altalla also has to be mindful of potential drone strikes on his location as the Israeli regime actively hunts medical staff to further terrorize their resilient people of Gaza.
We discuss the dire shortage of medical supplies, the impending Polio pandemic poised to sweep the population of Gaza, the improvisation and bravery by medical staff to make due with what little resources they have to save lives, and some positive moments in the midst of this hell.
A teaching assistant at The Faculty of Medicine at Al Azhar University in Cairo and a medical director of Al Amal Health Center. Dr. Altalla wakes up every day to manage the critical task as surgeon for the Surgery Department of Al Aqsa Hospital. Dr. Altalla had the misfortune of witnessing one of the worst surges of patients as a result of the Al Nussiret Massacre which resulted in 270 + murdered and over 700 severely injured. In defiance of the nightmarish and unsafe conditions weaponized to drive medical staff out of Gaza, Dr. Altalla refuses to evacuate until there is a permanent ceasefire. Dr. Altalla is trying to raise money for his Master’s in the UK.
