Gaza hospitals' conditions like medieval times, says British surgeon

00:53

Khaled Dawas, a British surgeon who has participated in medical support in the Gaza Strip, said in an interview on May 27 that the medical conditions in the Gaza Strip are extremely backward, medical resources are insufficient, and the burden on the local medical staff is huge. "Hospitals are overcrowded, and it's absolutely true to describe it as medieval medicine. What you would hear about or read about would be happening in Europe maybe 300 or 400 years ago," he said.
