British Doctor: Israeli Drones Target Wounded in Gaza
Israeli drones target wounded civilians on the ground after airstrikes, said Nizam Mamudi, a British doctor who served in the Gaza Strip between August and September.
This came in his speech, on Tuesday, at a session of the International Development Committee in the British Parliament entitled "The Humanitarian Situation in Gaza."
"Drones create fear," he said, "and they also have the ability to fire, and they open fire on civilians."
"After the bombs fell on a crowded place where the tents were, the marches would come and shoot at the children and civilians," he added.
He said that the bullets used in drone attacks are more harmful than regular bullets.
He added, "I noticed that the bullets used in the marches enter the body and move inside it, causing many internal injuries."
He said that a child told him during surgery that after the bomb fell, he was lying on the ground, and a drone came, flew over him, and shot him.
"This was a deliberate and ongoing act, and there were daily targeting of civilians," he continued.
The organ transplant specialist pointed out that nearly 70% of the people he treated were women and children.
He pointed out that many basic medical supplies and equipment are unavailable or limited, stressing that preventing the entry of medical supplies into Gaza is a deliberate move.
He explained that leaving the hospital and moving around was dangerous, and that they were targeted 5 times even though they were traveling with the UN convoy whose movements Israel had been informed of.
With American support, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, which has left more than 146,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
