Surgeon Just Back from Gaza: Injuries Indicate Targeting of Certain Body Parts
Dr. Nick Maynard, a surgeon who has just returned from volunteering in Gaza for the past month, describes a pattern reminiscent of "target practice" visible in the injuries medical staff are treating in Gaza.
As evidence grows of deliberate massacres of Palestinians seeking aid at the U.S.- and Israeli-backed aid sites, Maynard says the pattern of injuries suggests that Israeli military forces and other security contractors staffing the sites are "playing some sort of game" in their targeting of civilians, shooting at the head one day, "the abdomen tomorrow, the testicles the day after that."
Because of Israel's blockade on food and medicine outside of the sparse supplies available at these dangerous aid sites, Maynard continues, normally survivable injuries have become fatal. "Because they're so malnourished, their tissues don't heal. Their immune systems are suppressed. … They often end up breaking down, causing terrible infections inside the body, and frequently these patients die."
