Gaza Doctor Returns to a Hospital in Ruins After Detention

A senior Gazan anaesthesiologist, Dr Ahmed Muhanna, returns to Gaza after 665 days in Israeli detention to find al-Awda hospital hollowed out of staff, equipment, and medicine, with 75 colleagues killed in custody and 1,200 Palestinian healthcare workers killed and 384 detained since Oct 2023. Gaza’s healthcare system is ravaged: no functional MRI machines and only one CT scanner, border closures and fuel shortages have forced the hospital to suspend services, and WHO says 77% of the population faces acute food insecurity. International NGOs face new license revocations, further hampering aid. Muhanna continues to treat patients while coping with trauma and a bleak outlook for his children’s future.
