Al Jazeera · world

Gaza's medical professionals are grappling with profound psychological trauma and overwork due to the ongoing conflict. Anaesthesiologist Manar Fayyad left his profession after discovering his brother Shadi among casualties, while nurse Khaled Raafat returned to work after a personal tragedy. At least 1,700 medical personnel have been killed, and 83 healthcare workers remain detained. The immense loss and constant exposure to death are pushing remaining staff to their psychological limits, impacting their ability to provide care.
