Dr Zouhair Lahna recounts his time in Gaza and tells Al Jazeera he is pained by the memories of the sick, wounded and dying. Although he has worked in conflict zones across the globe, the Moroccan French pelvic surgeon and obstetrician said has never seen anything like the Israeli war on Gaza.

‘We survived on whatever scraps we could find – even moldy bread’
Mercy Corps aid workers in Gaza have shared their stories about the impact of prices spiking by seven to 10 times the original prices before the war. Staff member Lojain, currently located in Gaza City, said that from December to March, essential supplies vanished – no milk for her baby niece, no flour, pasta or vegetables were available.
“We survived on whatever scraps we could find, even moldy bread. The famine and communication blackout were particularly harrowing experiences for me,” she said.
Getting essentials such as water and wood is a “constant concern” because of exorbitant prices, she said. Something as simple as drinking tea or coffee is impractical, Lojain said. Staff member Nader added: “Just a few weeks ago, I was able to buy sugar for 10 shekels [$2.70]. However, the price of a pack of sugar jumped to 70 shekels [$18.80].”
