We need your help! We urgently require 3,000 of you to support our 100% independent media platform amplifying Palestinian voices against attempted erasure, from just £1 per month: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support Palestinian medical doctor Dr Mohammed Ashraf provides a harrowing account to Palestinian journalist Ahmed Alnaouq about his experience treating Gaza’s sick and wounded under Israeli genocide. Over several months, 28-year-old Dr Ashraf who is from Gaza, treated hundreds of patients in the al-Shifa and al-Kuwaiti Hospitals, including undertaking a lower-leg amputation on a patient with no anaesthetic, as none was available due to Israel’s tightening of the blockade amid its ongoing genocide. PDD host, Ahmed Alnaouq, is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers. On October 22, Israel bombed Ahmed’s family home killing most of his close family. Dr Ashraf recounts a heartbreaking story of receiving a young Palestinian girl whose family had been killed in an Israeli missile strike. Waking up in hospital, alone and her face covered in shrapnel, she asks, “Doctor, am I in heaven?” She tells Dr Ashraf that her mother had promised she would wake up in a calm, peaceful environment, “going to heaven directly” if Israel did indeed attack their family home. She died in hospital shortly after her question to Dr Ashraf.

I was really worried to go to my house because you don't want to endanger your family… It was very cold and you sleep with the smell of bodies and you wake up to the screams of the mothers…it’s the smell of death. I know the smell of death,” Azaiza tells Ahmed. Israel has killed more than 160 Palestinian journalists in Gaza since October. Azaiza’s footage and photography has reached billions around the world, with his Instagram account attracting more than 18 million followers eager to bypass mainstream media bias and see the reality of life on the ground in Gaza. But Azaiza tells Ahmed he has lost hope in the power of images to affect change, yet continued his work in Gaza because it was “his passion and his duty.” Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.
