Dr. Issam Abu Ajwa's Transition from Surgery to Detention
It has been reported that Dr. Issam Abu Ajwa, a volunteer Palestinian surgeon, recounted horrific events during the Gaza war. He was working at the Methodist Hospital, which was directly targeted and bombed by Israeli forces on October 17, 2023, resulting in the death of 500 people and hundreds of injuries. Despite the bombing and weeks-long blockade, the medical team continued providing treatment under extremely difficult conditions, including shortages of equipment and medicines, along with a blockade that prevented rescuing the wounded. Abu Ajwa was detained while working after the hospital was stormed in December 2023; he faced torture and was imprisoned for eight months before being released in July 2024. He returned immediately to his profession, despite his injuries and both psychological and physical pain, reaffirming his commitment to his homeland and emphasizing the importance of international support for Gaza amid the worsening humanitarian situation and the shortage of treatments and medicines in the strip.
