‘After Seeing Gaza’s Starving Children, My Work as an Israeli Pediatrician Will Never Be the Same’

This opinion column, authored by an Israeli pediatrician, is an important follow-up to “‘Starvation Is Everywhere’: Virtual Tours of Gaza Clinics Expose Scale of Horror,” which World-Outlook published on August 23. Through virtual tours of medical facilities in Gaza, the authors of that earlier story documented in harrowing detail the situation in which thousands of Palestinian children suffer from severe acute malnutrition as a result of deliberate Israeli government policy. In this follow-up, authored after the Israeli military bombed Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, where this photo was taken, Michal Feldon explains that “the disparity between the medicine I practice on a daily basis in this country [Israel], and what is happening in the Gaza Strip — just a few dozen kilometers from me — is totally insupportable and unacceptable.”
