Gaza: Before October 7 - Documentary

Filmed in May 2023, this short documentary illustrates some of the challenges that existed prior to the full-scale war that began on 7 October, including the challenges faced by medical professionals and hospitals due to Israel’s blockade of #Gaza.

However, it also illustrates that prior to October, there was a robust and functional healthcare system in #Gaza, offering advanced surgical care, research and stewardship on antimicrobial resistance among other things.

Today, that healthcare system no longer exists. It has been systematically dismantled in bombing, fighting; the killing, abuse and arrest of medical professionals and patients.
