Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah, British-Palestinian doctor from Gaza, speaks to MEE

r Ghassan Abu Sittah who returned from Gaza to the UK described a “desperate” situation in the besieged strip as low medical supplies forced doctors to use washing up liquid and vinegar to help patients.

Speaking to Middle East Eye in London, Abu Sittah said the “sheer colossal number of seven to eight thousand wounded and around 7,000 children killed in only 40 days is just breathtaking.”
Abu Sittah teared up when recalling some of the child patients he operated on.
“The wounds sustained by many of my patients showed markings that are similar to the ones inflicted by the use of white phosphorus and other incendiary weaponry,” he said.
