KUWAIT: Kuwait Times and Kuwait News invited one of the nurses who witnessed the events and conditions in Gaza from within its hospitals to create a video in both Arabic and English to share his experience on both fronts. This report captures the essence of the interview with the nurse who was brought from the heart of Gaza. Ahmed Kouta, a 23-year-old Palestinian-Canadian nurse provided a detailed account of his experience working in a hospital in Gaza.

His testimony shed light on the deteriorating conditions and the overwhelming challenges faced by medical staff and patients alike. This report outlines the critical points of his experience and the broader implications for both the local population and the international community. Kouta described the situation in Gaza’s hospitals as worsening by the day, with the majority of cases being children or individuals in need of immediate surgery.

The severity of the cases was such that many patients could not survive, not only due to the extent of their injuries but also because of the lack of essential medical equipment and supplies. He recounted seeing bodies that were severely burned and patients who eventually succumbed to their injuries. Initially, the hospitals were overwhelmed with patients, with every available space occupied.
