Dr Ahmed Mokhallalati on the fight to save lives in the face of Israeli attacks.
Amid the war in Gaza, al-Shifa Hospital became a last refuge for the wounded before Israeli attacks destroyed it. Dr. Ahmed Mokhallalati, like many other health workers, chose to stay and serve despite airstrikes, severe shortages and overwhelming patient numbers. As his family fled, he remained under siege, facing the immense challenge of saving lives with limited resources.
Today, a year after leaving Gaza, Dr. Mokhallalati reflects on the physical, mental and emotional suffering endured by medical staff and the commitment that saw them through their darkest hours.
