Dr. Mohammed Abu Mughaiseb, Doctors Without Borders official: “what is happening now in Gaza is beyond anything we have seen”

Dr. Mohammed Abu Mughaiseb, Deputy Medical Coordinator for Doctors Without Borders' in Palestine, sent a video report to LeMonde which the Paris newspaper posted on its English language website on August 12.

Dr. Mughaiseb is stationed in Al-Mawassi in southern Gaza.

He told LeMonde that the few hospitals that still function are so overwhelmed, some patients bleed to death while waiting for surgery. “Even after all wars we’ve lived through, what’s happening now in Gaza is beyond anything we’ve seen,” he said.

Doctors Without Borders has sent medical staff to conflicts around the world since it’s founding in 1971, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
