ah i anthony. okay, welcome to the stream. this is a show, the often says to you, our audience, what story should be with be covering and you sent us the stories and we do our best to reach them on the show. that's exactly what happened. we've talked to a trach. he is a doctor and he's a journalist and he sent an idea that inspired this entire episodes, have a look at the targeting of health care facilities and health care workers in times of war, all considered possible war crimes. so why is it that israel keeps getting away

with this? by myself? my daughter has worked on the frontline and was as before and i know the importance of having a safe place to treat the very patient to fleeing the violence. they find themselves in this is why i pitched this topic to sonya, one of the ha, stream producers. and to discuss the impact that these episodes abundance of had on health care workers. and why is it the israel keeps getting away with it and how we can hold them to account for the kinds of committed? so the question we are looking at today is what is left of golf is fragile health care system. you can jump into the conversation by being in the comment section, your thoughts, your experiences, your questions, put them in the comment section. i do my best to feed them in today's program. next meet our guests. hello to mahmoud. hello to dr. gaston, and hello to we am good to see you. all of you may retire international audience who you are, what you do. thank you so much for having me. my name is marcela b and i work for are you sure to call me because it work as

a senior program manager and the guys office get to have it? that's fine. if people been following your work online, they would have seen you doing surgeries in garza in the past few days or so. it is really good to have you on the stream. we introduce yourself to international audience. thank you. my name is the son of sitter, i'm a plastic and reconstructive surgeon an associate professor in conflict medicine. nice to have you and we welcome back to the stream. a lot of audience who you are and what you do. thank you. my name is leanne from luca. i'm an assistant professor of the institute of community and public health. it is at the university the fact and i'm just looking at a tweet that you put out. and just in the last few hours, emmy's a barber injured when mister l hit a car outside his shop, a garage of missiles fired at the crowd that gathered and amputated his right leg and mangled his left leg. today we were able to save his left leg so that he can

walk again and work again and not be will chat bound. how is that when you know that you have changed, improved someone's life? so the work that we do within reconstructive surgery, particularly in times of war, revolves around an attempt to reduce if not reverse disability that has been caused by the weapons of war. and so in case of this patient, it is critical that he is able to 3 months, 6 months down the line where a prosthetic leg where the right leg used to be at least be able to use the left leg to stand. if he's ever a going to be able to provide for himself or for his family as a barber,

which is the only job he knows what, how to do. and that's what we do with adults with children. it's even more difficult because at the end of the day, what you're trying to do is reduce this ability in an ever growing body. and therefore, that's why children with war related injuries require a lifetime of surgeries because their bodies try to out grow, discard a wounds of the war. and so require repeat the surgeries until they reach adult life mahmoud. i was looking at a video that you recorded as you were trying to take essential medical supplies from one place to another place, doing a conflict based, okay, during during a war situation, i'm going to play that and then asking what it is like when you're in golf, when the conflict is happening, but let's have a look at that,

that incredibly dangerous journey fest. this is my and i am documenting my journey today. going to the warehouse that we have lots of guys. look for some drugs and disposal. some love to agents for the ministry of our emergency related then needed. right now i see it's my duty to show you some of the demons that she was actually white in one of those things where the mother, unfortunately ages between 7 and 4 years old. this is what we are dealing with right now. we are currently sorting out and get

things out of the warehouse city to be transferred to the of them. and i mean, when you're watching that back, will you feel for it the time as you were recording that video showing like this is my work. this is what i need to do. even during a complet i was terrified to be honest with you, and so many of my colleagues and family members who so the video, they could actually tell me that we could hear your, your, your beth, and how scared you where i was literally the only one in the streets, going towards the warehouse to release those emergency related, reposition, the, you know, drugs and dispos events. otherwise, if those sweater released due to the fact that guns doesn't have so much stock, the minister of health doesn't have a strategic stock of items and that's why we come into this picture. we position supplies and release them during times of emergencies. those being natural

disasters or manmade like these ones. the journey wasn't easy and i was really scared, but it was my duty and i felt obliged to do this journey. and video idea just came to my mind just to show the people that are, that we were living. and during those 11 days of assault, some guys and i would like just to go back if you will, may allow me. so the point of liberty construction as a result of this war, we have been told by the ministry of had from initial assessment so far. that's probably more maybe 10 percent of the people who were injured during this war would need blood reconstruction, would need that. you know, glimpse salvage and limby construction surgeries are things that take 6 months to 3 or 4 years of continuous search. it is continuously obliteration. and

so much money that you need to board. and just to say one of them and that lim could see one life. we i'm, there's a lot of activity and conversation on youtube. i want to share some of these thoughts with you. got mommy says, how long does palestine have left regarding medical aid, oxygen, oxygen sterilized equipment? so basically, what is the health care system like right now today? well, the health care system as content as the various constrains and especially i think one thing that we can do, you have to keep in mind that all of this is happening in the middle of a pandemic. and before the hospital is also undergoing, like one of the spikes and kinda mac response for the hospitals where already under resource already facing shortages, they've been facing shortages and essential drugs and equipment and human resources throughout the last 14 years, especially with a seizure topic that's been impose the 3rd market that's imposed on those so this

is something that's to keep in mind that we're already dealing with a health system that has been severely constrained and largely by manmade conditions. and i think this is an important point about was brought up that a lot of this is not, it's not because of a natural disaster. like mood said, most as like a lot of essential drugs are under stock. there's a reliance on the health care system. sometimes for referrals and other things, lots of her are denied. there's been a lot of development overall and also applies to the health system. so it's already, it was already in a very bad situation before the latest version of the war. and when we got go ahead, i just want to give you a glimpse of the statistics because numbers are also powerful. just before this, these 11 days of assault on the central drug store,

the ministry of and shared with all organizations that once the report, what you should know is that for the 1st time i joined, madden 2016. and i have been reading those monthly reports frequently. what for the 1st time ever the essential drugs list that the ministry keeps to save, you know, lives in gaza each 50 percent of shortages. this is, this is harder thick. if this means that 50 percent of the drugs live, what does that mean on the mom is if you trying to like if you go into your your local hospital, showing garza, you're going to your clinic. what does that actually mean? 50 percent of drugs not available. so you are you turning people away? basically what that means is that half of the drugs that are needed for your treatment aren't available. that's why organizations such as me because it understands and others squeeze. and we have yearly budgets to try and help them ministry salvage some of these drugs and medical disposable. i just want to give

you an example to date. you know, just before i joined this show, i received an appeal from the ministry of health to procure filters for him or the ernest, his patients. for kids, specifically under the age of 13, that need their kidneys watched. without those 2025 children and guys have their lives endangered. it simply means that a single drug caught a single disposable that is not available in gaza. could cause a fatality morbidity or a long term disability. that's the unfortunate situation that we actually did that . but as i've seen, you talk to reporters while you actually are operating in a theater, but these shortages are supplies. what does it mean to you when you're operating to your cliques or your writing? so it, it, it to fold. it means that you are using equipment that is well beyond its shelf

life. re sterilizing surgical equipment that actually a should have been thrown away and replaced a long time ago. and you are making do with equipment that is not meant for use for that specific case. but you improvise and you provide the best possible service i want to, to, to but basically what we need to keep going back to is this idea that actually, whether it's the siege or this war or the previous wars which is really military leaders of you referred to in the past as moving the law is a man made disaster, and it is a process that is very akin to a titration experiment where you titrate life and death. and the aim of the siege

is to maintain the people in gaza at a reduced level of life, slightly above death. and the crippled and disabled health system is one of the leavers that is used in this titration to ensure that a diminished quality of life in gaza to ensure the persistence of a humanitarian crisis, which allows the debate to be shifted away from any political roots of the problem to how many pieces of of medication we brought in, how many hours of electricity do we have? how much drugs and medical teams that you bring in and what is the caloric intake of a family in gaza rather than the political roots of the crisis? which is what the debate is it should be about should be about the

return of the palestinian refugees about the history of the creation of gaza, the biggest refugee camp. but what the intentional humanitarian crisis does is it shifts the whole debate and creates a debate that revolves around drugs and goals and syringes and doctors, as if you are living as, as we said in a, in a natural disaster, rather than a man made continuous titration of death, if you will not allow me some go ahead, go ahead. we, i'm you go 1st law much you go 2nd guy we know is going to, i'm just about point and i think this is part of the problem and this, and this is also when we're focusing that conversation strict down humanitarianism

. we're actually moving away from the root causes and, and public health. this is what we are supposed to be focusing on, and we need political solutions for these things. and it's not only that we are distracted by this conversation. but the thing of, you know, this is before such a fall and you know, in less than 14 years, and there was a really popular post by, by the young artist. and that's where she felt that she's now 21 years old. and she's gone through this for the 1st time, and i think we need to be asking ourselves not, and how much equipment we actually need to allow em. but we need to be asking ourselves why is that that we're still talking about this. why is about the situation of continuing with no accountability for those who are responsible and that's primarily israel. mom is get what i would like to say that while i totally agree with doctor our son and we, we as humanitarians and organizations in the field,

we are actually faced by those struggles daily of the people and guys, we like people come knocking at our doors and asking us for humanitarian assistance, that's why it's important to provide aid, but at the same time, to attack and developmental issues. but i encourage organizations to have strong advocacy, strong campaigns and be able to address, you know, those causes. and we all know what the cause of this is and socio economic status. if you are affecting a garza with more than 50 years of occupation and 14 years of blockade, you're affecting the economy and that is at the effect that is at the head of understands negativity. why it is important that we keep focusing on humanitarian plus developmental work while also trying to address with causes. i hear all, if you guess fishes got to be a conversation about politics as well as this could be

a conversation about medicine, because both of you, you pulled out, we em, you brought that up to. these are some tough thoughts happening on youtube. i'm gonna ask you to react them very quickly, so we can get in as much as possible. michelle says how much i can afford to give people bomb shelters, but they can afford to give them plastic surgery, dr. response. so i am older than her mass, and i remember israelis were killing palestinians in garza before 88 and before 82. and you know, before i was born and before the p, a low was born and 65. gaza was under attack by continues is rady rates. there was a big massacre in newness when ariel sharon, as a young commander and these really army, led a raid into her newness in 56 and killed over

a 1000 people. line them up against the wall and shot them. so this idea that a kind of amazing view of garza's history as starts and ends with us. the other issue is plastic surgery is reconstructive surgery. you know, if you cannot use your hand to not use your hand, you cannot use your hand. it means that your, your income generating ability diminishes greatly. it means that your life is heading in a trajectory. that's my barber needs, plastic surgery, so he can stand up not so that he can pace this and a little large but know so he can feed himself and just ginger. so he can try to undo even by what ever measure that we can give him,

the damage that the weapons of war has inflicted on his body and his life. so this idea that these people are having some kind of luxury surgery is false and insidious a. can i can i add also some things that the viewers must know. dr. her son is actually visiting guys right now. he's not phased in gaza. he is right now the best plastic session that guys has. guys that doesn't have a plethora of plastic surgeons. the only one who was said only qualified retired a few months ago. this is not the luxury. people are suffering due to the occupation and due to the located the local as preventing people from going outside and gaining their degrees. and you know, knowing those finish specialities in order to be able to help the people does. that does not have so much plastic surgeon and this goes on for all other sub

specialities. we are suffering hugely from the lack of medical professionals. and by the way, we don't have shelters from bumps and garza, i'm going to move on to i'm going to move on cuz we're almost at the end of this program. i want to get in a few more thoughts. no, no need to apologize. i. i would have you on for hours on monday, if i was able to hear. com says i want to know how we can restore the facilities in hospitals, which goes hand in hand with some of our community that we reached out to 2 of them about recovery on the gaza strip. have a lesson when i have the fire haskin, i'm forcing god, i feel like, oh my god, it's finding it over. there will be no more distraction. there will be no more to kelly or injury or on beings. i feel relieved, but i know i have a lot of trouble in the next day. does a starting the process of feeling and recovery. this includes medical supplies and

other humanitarian aid. finally coming in to gaza. and in style, we are beginning to plan for also rehabilitating the health infrastructure. 17 primary health care centers need to be rebuilt or repaired. the central lab is starting to function again. so there is a chance the health system will at least partially recover. my once again we find myself as an international community, asking people in gaza, what do you need to recover? what do you need? we need loads and loads of efforts, and those are including when, if they are for advocacy efforts and all that. but i just hate the word resilience as a senior. and i have been living in garza and i have been described as there is any and individual definition of resilience mean bouncing back to the previous state

that we were. but after those 11 days of a sort, you're talking about 11 facilities that were severely damaged, including one that is totally wiped out. and more and more of destruction that is happening. bouncing back to the previous state, the school is inadequate because you are talking about 80 percent of the population dependent of 18. 61 percent of us are unemployed drugs and dispose of as are continuous shortages. what are we bouncing back to? what are we covering back to? we really need to address what causes as dr. our son, and we said in order for us to be able to build back better, not bouncing back to the previous state. so don't notice they are like there is don't our fatigue and guys, it has been on kind of look it for 14 years. some of the donors say we have been supporting you for 14 years without any you know, think tangible on the ground. that's because we are under a blockade, you need to put in funds in guys the strip to enhance the infrastructure to address

other issues with him for guards with start that he's with drugs with disposable. and after that, people can think of developmental work and actually enhancing the system. to share this with you gas, israel garza si fi doesn't mean the idea should be excused for striking health facilities. that piece was written by doctor at watch. he was the doctor who suggested that we do this program in the 1st place. we am, we've talked about this disaster for kansas health care system, which has been struggling anyway. what about accountability rule that young i mean is judging by past occasions, there's probably going to be very little if any accountability and i think this is what's really important to us. and it's really important to actually push that. and what's been different this time around is that there has been more mobilization, their husband, or their help,

and more calls for accountability. we do have tools at our disposal, but they're not being used. israel company consistently as the exception to that rule. and there are legal analyst, i think if these attacks and health facilities could qualify as work home and what we do need to keep in mind and we're talking about. and i think there is a false parallel that's actually sometimes made between panels of capabilities and israel. excluded israel is one of the lead military powers in the globe. and also one of the lead producers of military technology. so they have the precision technology that they actually market as being bottle tested. if they wanted to avoid the sandwiches, they could have to reason this continues over and over again. is it precisely because of that lack of accountability? we em hassan mahmoud. thank you so much of being on our program today for helping us understand gothic health care systems and where it stands right now you cheapest . i appreciate your comments and your thoughts and your questions. i'll see you

next time watching everybody. ah ah ah, ah ah, the roper hotel is the most talent that i've ever stated and i'm the biggest box you have ever seen. how does explode taken out the hotel? this was germany. we loved it when it was built. and we, even when it was a major town to the conflict in northern ireland, in the late 20th century belfast, you wrote a new episode of war, hotels on al jazeera,

incarcerated in russia's toughest prison, stripped off their liberties and unexpected creative opportunity. singing contest like no other offered the chance of redemption and hope for the prison lies inside and out a tailor fingers and murders on alger there. for ramirez and medina, families, the pain is unbearable for of their relatives were killed last week. doing a military operation ordered by the venezuelan government, security forces accused him of being part of a colombian rebel group and said they died and come, but the neighbors and family members in session, they were innocent, taken from their homes and executed under pressure venezuela's,

defense minister by the me to do, you know, said the armed forces were obliged to defend that country from irregular groups, but added the human rights needed to be respected and that the events at the border would be investigated. ah, and i am no tainer in london with headlines for you and leaders across europe are accusing better roosts of hijacking and piracy of the forced landing of a passenger jet that are calling for tough sanctions. after banners used a 5 digit to ground, the plane in minsk before resting by the russian journalist room and purchase savage who was on board video participated in detention, has been published on social media in the clip. he says he has no health problems. curia of the forced landing and the rest.
