Australian doctor reveals what is left of Gaza’s hospitals
Today, palliative care doctor Rachel Coghlan, who worked with doctors in Gaza before October 7, 2023, discusses what’s left of Gaza’s hospitals – and the daily toll for doctors as they try to keep them going.
Dr Rachel Coghlan is a palliative care doctor based in Melbourne, who worked with doctors in Gaza before October 7, 2023.
Since then, she has been in regular contact with her colleagues there as they have continued to show up for work to care for their patients in increasingly horrific circumstances.
But now, as Israel’s bombardment of Gaza City intensifies, doctors in Gaza face a devastating decision – stay and care for their patients, or flee to save their families.
