'It could've been me': Japan Doctors Without Borders chief says dismal medical infrastructure drove doctors in Gaza to depression amid war
“I have never been mentally and psychologically affected, but I have," she related, pointing that this was despite her having over two decades of medical experience and being a board-certified emergency medical services doctor. The situation in Gaza had also deteriorated to the point where doctors created an acronym for injured children with no family because it has become a common occurrence: “WCNSF,” which stands for “wounded child, no surviving family.”Dr Yuko also shared her experience speaking to one of the patients at Nasser Hospital who was also a female doctor where the patient lost her home, husband and two children from the airstrikes.
Since October 7, last year, 14,500 children have died from the attacks in Palestine, which is almost four times more than the death toll of children from all conflicts across the globe in 2019, which was only 4,000, Dr Yuko said.In February, Al Jazeera reported that Nasser Hospital was no longer functioning after the Israeli regime raided and shelled the area.
