This British-Australian doctor has seen the unspeakable in Gaza. He wants to shout from the rooftops

Wed 23 Apr 2025 01.26 EDT

When Israel shattered the ceasefire in Gaza last month and resumed its large-scale bombardment, the British-Australian doctor Mohammed Mustafa had just clocked off at the emergency department of what was the last fully functioning hospital in Gaza City.

“It was so intense that the windows blew off their hinges and I had fallen out of my bed,” he tells Guardian Australia’s Full Story podcast.

The 35-year-old emergency physician from Perth was on his second medical mission in the besieged territory volunteering for the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association at al-Ahli Arab hospital, also known as the Baptist hospital.

Children and women began arriving at the hospital with extreme injuries, including burns and missing limbs. Mustafa knew many would not survive the night.

If I've already read an OP in another forum, I just move on without having a whinge about it. Life's too short

I know it's the middle of an election campaign and things are busy, but I fear the government's rather insipid reactions to Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank may lead to seats being lost by the ALP in areas like Western Sydney. I'd rather the seats be held by the ALP rather than an Independent, who can be an unpredictable voice for an electorate. Disclaimer: I proudly voted for an Independent Senator for the ACT and will do so again in early May. David Pocock is progressive with his politics and has yet to hold a view I don't wholeheartedly support. Plus he's doing a fantastic job in the Senate.
