Gaza Gasping: An Aid Worker's Frontline Diary
An aid worker's journey into famine-struck Gaza
The Gaza Strip has become the most dangerous place in the world for humanitarian workers. Among them is Sonam Dreyer-Cornut, a nurse from Valais on assignment with Doctors Without Borders in the Palestinian enclave for two months. "Ultimately, no place in Gaza is safe. The population doesn't know where to go.” Since the end of the truce, the Israeli army has been targeting health facilities in particular, which it claims are hosting Hamas activities. According to the WHO, almost all of Gaza’s hospitals are now damaged. As the blockade persists, cases of extreme malnutrition, especially among children, are increasing. "We're starting to run out of everything. Whether it's medical supplies, medicines, or medical equipment, to keep the hospitals running.” The UN has identified the use of hunger as a weapon of war as a serious violation of international humanitarian law. In her final video, just before the end of her service, Sonam’s steadfast composure breaks. All that remains are questions: “I don't understand why we continue to bomb civilians and mostly children. Who? Who? Who are they, the collateral damage of this war?”
