'Gaza is mass murder and mutilation’ - British Surgeon Graeme Groom tells MEE

Description :

Dr. Graeme Groom, a British orthopaedic surgeon, described the current situation in the Gaza Strip after spending three weeks treating patients at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital. He has visited Gaza between 40 and 50 times during his career and calls the present crisis the most appalling humanitarian catastrophe of our young century. Groom said that every day, around 100 Palestinians lose their lives, and he praised the professionalism and discipline of Palestinian medics working under dire conditions. The United Nations has described Israel’s repeated attacks on hospitals in Gaza as a pattern of destruction that is pushing the enclave’s healthcare system to the point of almost complete collapse.
