After five grueling weeks apart, Dr. Mohammad Subeh of Saratoga was welcomed home from Gaza in a warm embrace with his family at San Francisco International Airport on Friday.
"I didn’t know what to expect going into Gaza but when I entered it was like I entered an apocalyptic horror movie," Subeh said.The emergency room physician from El Camino Hospital in Mountain View took his lifesaving skills to Gaza, where he said medical personnel are hard to come by.He teamed up with the International Medical Corps to help civilian victims of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, putting himself in harm’s way.
Half of his patients were children, and many needed their limbs amputated."Many of whom lost their parents," Subeh said.He did what he could to console the survivors, just by being there and holding them, like his own family did for him at SFO, after weeks apart."We’ve been extremely worried about him as well as for all the people in Gaza right now," Subeh’s wife Naiema Din said. "To have him back is a relief.
