A Palestinian man in Gaza has described losing his aunt to cancer when she was denied treatment because Israel had bombed the only hospitals able to treat her illness in the territory.
Speaking to Al Jazeera earlier, Ahmad Al Najjar described the “apocalyptic conditions” created by the ongoing Israeli bombing campaign, which has included the systematic demolition of Gaza’s health system by the Israeli military.
Gaza is “not a place that you want to be sick”, said Al Najjar, explaining how the destruction of the Strip has traumatised thousands of people and stopped those with injuries and preventable illnesses in Israeli attacks from receiving treatment.
“Just by witnessing what we are experiencing in the Gaza Strip is perfectly sufficiently to wipe out the sanity of an human being,” he said.
