- “Where do you bury a little boy’s leg?” asked Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah, as he operated and tended to the wounded in #Gaza for over 40 days under Israeli bombardment.
The faces, stories and images that unfolded before him provide a glimpse into the destruction and devastation on the ground, as Israel continues its war on the besieged enclave.
In this episode of Real Talk, the British-Palestinian surgeon shares his firsthand experiences about what he saw and sits down for a two-part interview with us at his house in London.
In part one, Dr Abu Sittah talks about Gaza’s ‘collapsed’ health sector, being forced to operate on patients without anaesthetics, as well as his account of the 17 October bombing of al-Ahli Hospital.
#RealTalk is a Middle East Eye interview show hosted by Mohamed Hashem that delves into the stories and experiences of a diverse range of guests.

If we let this happen, and we let Israel take Gaza, then we are so lacking in humanity that we don't deserve to exist anymore. This is as wrong as wrong can be.
You are right about this if we end specially our leaders can let this happen as humanity we don’t deserve to exist anymore end where is God?
U are right
I feel the same. Like it’s existential. That it would be a confirmation we will destroy ourselves and deserve it. If we can’t stop a genocide that’s occurring right in front of our face and is well documented, there’s no hope for us.
We cannot do alot of we are very removed from their situation. However, if we knew every item that is produced in (for) those ones, we could have a concerted effort to remove and replace.
The heroism of this Doctor is staggering. And incredibly inspiring. The occupiers are rabid dogs..
So true
I dont know how this brave Dr has managed to mentally survive those atrocities he and all colleagues have to endure day and night in Gaza. Free, free Palestina 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
What's happening in Gaza is horrific 😢 God bless u dr Ghassan, you're a true hero ❤
Cannot imagine the trauma and psychological scars this great hero had to endure and will live with for the rest of his life, he is forever a changed man.. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔💔💔🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴
IF THESE ARE NOT WAR CRIMES,II DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WAR CRIME?
Dr ghassan is an exemple of resilience and courage, despite the fact that he left gaza he is still fighting by spreading the truth . May allah bless him and all Palestinians ❤
Thank you, Doctor, for this interview. For doing what you did this time in Gaza and for all of the work you’ve done in war zones. For treating the symptoms, even when the disease has progressed to the terminal stage in Gaza. I pray that you are able to rest, heal, and process. May Allah bless you and your family.
You re a hero.❤
If you know nothing about gaza and the Palestinians.. Just look at the Israeli spokespeople.. And then listen to this doctor.. You are left in no doubt ..the man's honesty and humanity are self evident
Thank you for your dedication and commitment, you truly are a hero.
I appreciate everything about this interview. Anything this doctor has to say I want to listen! All the beautiful healthcare workers in Gaza are a gift to the world. Their commitment to their work is unmatched. Doctor Ghassan Abu Sittah coming out of the war zone and immediately starting interviews to advocate is admirable.
Just want to add this is my first time listening to this reporter. I must say he seemed genuine in his empathy for this situation.
Thank you for saving all these lives. You are a true hero.

the face of this dr says it all words fail me hasbunallahu wa ni mal wakeel
What he is doing is Dschihad in purest sense, no ? He forces to help in nightmare situation. My deepest respect for him.
I everything about this war on Gaza is horrific,
Palestinians everywhere 🗺️ 🌎 🌏 are expected to publicly mourn Israeli losses while Palestinians are experiencing death and destruction every day
Love warrior❤️
I am worried guys : help me to find a blind boy pales*time who used to read the Quran inside Shifa Hospital is he okay 😔 ? I have not seen him weeks .
WILL THEY EVER BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE CRMIES?
Hamas?
It doesn't seem like it. This is why they are committing their crimes because they know they can get away with it.
This man is so humble

And the world leaders are watching and doing nothing. Which part of „this is genocide“ do they not understand?
All those dead people so obviously mean nothing to them.
God sees everything. One day His justice will come.
If a man is not able to recognize the evil within it's community- one can not trust his words. And this man can not.
This cameraman should put his camera down on table and move from there instead.. so wobbly..
Watching this makes, listening to the unimaginable horror: THERE’S HUMANITY ON ONE SIDE, AND ON THE OTHER ISRAEL THE GENONCIDAL IDEA THAT IS ISREAL,AND THE TWO ARE NOT THE SAME, IN FACT THEY N REALITY, THEY ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
🥺☝️🇵🇸🕊️
As he was not able t
O do any thing ao he decided to leave
Despite their faith I feel those who decides to celebrate Xmas this year their either lost their humanity side or their just ignorant 💔just think about it they celebrate the birth of Jesus who literally were born in Palestine.. how 🤔
A liar is a liar! The pig hunt is on.....
All because of Palestinians and Hamas
The Palestinians are getting the same compassion they showed on October 7th . Going back to the 1920s they attacked and killed Jews, sided with the Nazis and while it is true that the Israelis do not have clean hands post 1948 the Palestinians have also engaged in massacres of Civilians (Munich , Achille Lauro , Maalot , Passover bombing and others_} . Id the Palestinians choose to keep hostages rather than ensuring that the bombing ceases then the death, so their women and children is on them. They could have changed their fate by choosing the 2 State solution from 1947 (as per the UN} and onwards as late as 2008. They still do not accept that path and so no matter how many people post or march they will have no future, no stability, no peace and no state until climate change takes them out. NOTE- stop trying to rewrite history as the Jewish Kingdom of Israel existed before Palestinians ever existed, the so-called European Jews were forcibly expelled by the Romans and most of Israelis descend from those that remained in the region. Accordingly the Israelis and Jews are the true indigenous people, so their claim is better than the Palestinians and throwing around slogans or terms like settlers or colonizers are not just not based on actual history but also do nothing to change the path for the Palestinians ( as only they can change that path} .
The way you dismiss so much history shows how ignorant you are sadly. A comment full of lies and supremacist ideologies.
And just like you think you are being funny by commenting those things online, remember that other people will do even funnier things to you out there.
@@nyaatararayour comment makes no sense what’s funny funny and funny?
Please read again what you have just written and read it again out loud and show me your love for your fellow men, women and children who are civilians and suffering such horrors through no fault of their own. I Pray Lord have mercy in the name of Jesus Christ and I have learned in my 77th year I am a Jew through my Mother and her Mother. I was never told but apparently my brothers were informed, therefor I have no axe to grind but to see GOD's LOVE in everyone and where may I ask is your love for Palestinians in Gaza and all around. God loves them and so must we do and I do and will continue to pray for them and wish them Good Health and Life and Joy and a full recovery from this evil they are enduring at the hands of my own ethnic people anyone who does this are evil are not true children of GOD. I hope you examine your conscience before you write insulting twisted truths of history and accuse victims of War Crimes of being accused of creating their own suffering by living in the place their ancestors lived side by side happily with Jews and Christians and others for centuries. May GOD change your heart if you even have one.
I hope some One you gave hospitality steals your home and everything then let's talk and also educate yourself to understand what exactly you are talking about because history is saying different things that you are saying
