Gaza – A War on Healthcare
With Professor Nick Maynard
Consultant Surgeon | Chair of Medical Aid for Palestinians

Professor Nick Maynard has spent more than sixteen years working in Palestinian hospitals. In this powerful conversation with Diana Safieh, he shares his firsthand experiences treating patients in Gaza, offering an eyewitness account of the devastating impact of the war on the territory’s healthcare system.

Drawing on multiple emergency medical missions, Professor Maynard describes what he has witnessed inside Gaza’s hospitals: overwhelmed emergency departments, collapsing medical infrastructure, critical shortages of medicines and equipment, attacks on healthcare workers, and the growing humanitarian crisis driven by displacement and hunger.
