Hello everyone, Talking to you, Ahmed Shabat , an emergency doctor from Gaza Strip. I do not hide from you that I was living a happy and beautiful life full of love, warmth, dreams and ambitions. As i graduated from medical school in 2022 and my ambition was to complete my educational career in England and enrol in the Royal College, which was my ambition and my wonderful dream, but unfortunately my life changed in this war, where our priorities became based on providing a living and trying to survive, despite the continuous bombing, extreme fear, insecurity, and the destruction of our home since the first days of this war, displacement several times, and living in the worst living, economic and inhuman conditions, as we are forced Every day to fill drinking water and undrinkable water from a distance, we live without electricity all the time, but the worst thing we suffer from is the famine.
Every day we light a fire in order to cook food, if we have food😞 , we have been adopting the one meal system for at least 6 months. The amount of food is very small and its price is very expensive. You can imagine that I lost about 15 Kg in the last 6 months. You can imagine that a young man of my age falls to the ground unconscious from a sharp drop in sugar and I suffer from chronic dizziness, because of the lack of nutrients and vitamins in my body because of this Famine. Despite this, I have never hesitated to provide my humanitarian service to the patients.
I have worked for nearly two years since the beginning of the war in order to serve the injured and sick, despite the scenes we see, the psychological conditions we live in, the scarce financial conditions and the fear inherent in us, but I have not and will not abandon my patients. I also hope that you do not abandon us and help us as much as possible to get a better life, complete my educational career and live my dreams in peace and safety.
Sincerely, Dr. Ahmed Shabat
