British Surgeon Details Catastrophic Conditions and Alleged ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ in Gaza Hospitals

A British surgeon, Dr. Nick Maynard, has provided a harrowing account from inside a Gaza hospital, alleging a deliberate plan to dismantle civilian infrastructure and ‘erase the Gaza population.’ Dr. Maynard, who has spent 15 years mentoring doctors in Gaza, shifted his mission to emergency surgeries following the outbreak of war in October 2023, witnessing a health system in complete collapse.

Speaking from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Dr. Maynard described systematic destruction: hospitals stripped of vital supplies, infants succumbing to hunger, and children shot while attempting to access food. He noted a disturbing pattern of injuries, particularly among young male teenagers (ages 11-14) shot at food distribution points, an observation he stressed was ‘beyond coincidence.’ The Israeli military denies intentionally targeting civilians, stating that orders prohibit firing at minors and that casualties at aid sites are under examination.

Maynard reported seeing clusters of specific injuries—head wounds one day, abdominal wounds the next—suggesting calculated targeting. He also highlighted the severe malnutrition of most patients, which significantly hinders recovery. The surgeon believes the destruction is not collateral but a calculated strategy, asserting, “I think what we’re witnessing is a very deliberate plan to erase the Gaza population from this land.” He accused Israeli forces of destroying essential infrastructure, including laboratories, dialysis machines, agriculture, and water sanitation plants, beyond merely targeting Hamas. Despite the extreme difficulties, Dr. Maynard continues to return, driven by a profound sense of injustice and a commitment to provide aid.
