After Losing His Leg, a Palestinian Doctor Tends to Gaza war Victims

Using an aluminum walker and a prosthetic leg, Palestinian pediatrician Khaled Al Saidani navigates his Gaza hospital with tenacity while tending to youngsters who have also been wounded in the conflict. He meticulously examines his patients at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital while carrying a stethoscope over his shoulders. As he passes from patient to patient, he gives the kids warm smiles and handshakes.

Having lost his right leg in an Israeli airstrike on his home last year, he is all too familiar with the devastation that can result from wartime injuries. At the hospital in central Gaza, Saidani told AFP, “I was hurt by shrapnel, and because I have diabetes, things got worse for me, and we had to amputate my leg.

As he examined a patient, he stated that the prosthetic “is tiring and has several downsides, but I’m able to move and walk.”
As Saidani performed an examination, a toddler with an IV tube and bandaged fingers looked on.

Patients and their families are crammed into Al Aqsa Hospital, especially the general ward, where many are being treated for wounds sustained from Israeli airstrikes. The hospital is situated in Deir Al Balah, an area where Hamas and Israeli forces have regularly battled.

Since the start of the war, there has been intense combat in the vast territories surrounding Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The military’s offensive, which was first concentrated on the northern regions of the Palestinian territories, has become more intense in recent months.
