US doctor in Gaza warns of starvation crisis resembling concentration camps

American pediatrician Dr Tom Adamkiewicz, currently volunteering at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, condemned the narrative in media and political circles that downplays the crisis in Gaza because it has not yet reached the visual extremity of concentration camps, where children appear as mere "skeletons."

He stressed that such scenes are no longer a distant threat but are already becoming reality, as he cares for severely malnourished children and patients with life-altering gunshot wounds arrive at the hospital, injured while simply trying to secure food for their families.
