Doctor slams BBC for echoing Israel

Hier beschreibt eine Ärztin, die im Gazastreifen gearbeitet hatte, wie Israel gezielt ein Massaker an der ganzen Familie ihrer Kollegin begangen, ihre neun Kinder barbarisch abgeschlachtet,  ihren Mann und ein weiteres Kind schwer verletzt hat. Sie erklärt, dass solche gezielten Massaker an medizinischem Personal und Kindern israelische Routine sind. Und BBC wirft sie vor, die Pressemitteilungen des Täters des Völkermordes abzuschreiben.

"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide."

In a searing interview with the BBC, paediatrician Dr Tanya Haj Hassan condemned the broadcaster for echoing Israeli government talking points as she recounted her harrowing experiences in Gaza.

Dr Haj Hassan, who recently returned from volunteering with Medical Aid for Palestinians, shared the devastating story of her colleague, Dr Alaa, a paediatric emergency doctor at Nasser Hospital.

While Dr Alaa was on call at the hospital, her home was bombed and nine of her children were killed, their bodies charred and dismembered beyond recognition. Her husband remains in critical condition.

Dr Haj Hassan described a healthcare system in collapse: intensive care units overflowing with maimed, orphaned children – many the sole survivors of their families.

She also questioned why the BBC has delayed the release of 'Medics Under Fire', a documentary it commissioned about systematic attacks on Gaza’s healthcare workers, calling for its immediate release.
