What happens when Gaza’s health system collapses? | Israel’s war against Gaza


Gaza’s medical infrastructure was woefully inadequate, but even today it has been destroyed by the Israeli war.

The Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis was the last major medical facility in the Gaza Strip destroyed by the Israeli war.

The World Health Organization says Israel killed 627 doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and other health workers between October and January.

With almost no supplies entering Gaza, what’s next for the 2.3 million Palestinians forced to live in inhumane conditions?

Host Steve Clemons speaks with Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a Chicago emergency room doctor who recently returned from volunteering at Nasser Hospital; and with Dr. Muaiad Kittaneh, a hematologist/oncologist who co-founded the Palestinian American Medical Association.
