Gaza Doctors Donate Own Blood As Healthcare System Nears Collapse
Health workers cite starvation, medicine shortages, and a decimated hospital network as casualties mount
Doctors in Gaza have begun donating their own blood to treat patients after Israeli forces opened fire on crowds seeking food earlier this week, according to statements made by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) officials on 5 June.
On 3 June, Israeli forces killed at least 27 starving Palestinians near a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) food distribution site in Rafah. Just two days earlier, Israeli troops had opened fire on civilians near another GHF aid point, resulting in at least 31 dead and over 170 injured.
The back-to-back incidents pushed Gaza’s already crippled healthcare system beyond its breaking point. With medical supplies running low and hospitals overwhelmed, doctors began donating their own blood to keep patients alive.
Around 100 staffers from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) protested outside the UN headquarters in Geneva, condemning the Israeli-backed aid distribution system in Gaza, which they say has led to chaos and civilian deaths.
MSF director Stephen Cornish stated that severe hunger has left many Palestinians too weak to donate blood, forcing medical personnel to intervene themselves.
