On the second anniversary of the Oct 7 war, surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah recounts 43 days inside Gaza’s besieged hospitals from Al-Shifa to Al-Ahli and Al-Awda where he treated children pulled from rubble and watched colleagues targeted and killed.
He explains why he called it genocide within days, how hospitals became battlefields, why health workers were tracked, and what must happen next for accountability and rebuilding. We also discuss pressure on international justice, persecution he faced abroad, and why global mobilization and sanctions are essential to stop the killing.
