As the war between Israel and Hamas continues to rage on in Gaza, people from around the world have been doing what they can to help civilians on the ground, including a doctor from the Bay Area.
Friday, Dr. Mohammad Subeh, an emergency room doctor at El Camino Health, arrived back home after 5 weeks working in Gaza. 'I'm still trying to digest all of the images and everything I saw,' Subeh said, recounting the trip. 'So I apologize if it disjointed. I'm physically and mentally exhausted.' Subeh was greeted by his wife, two sons and numerous friends when he landed at San Francisco International airport.
'We really worked with very scarce resources to be able to save lives, save limbs,' he said, explaining the medical shortcomings. 'I saw more dead babies in the past month than I have seen in my 12 month career in medicine.' Subeh is a refugee himself. He grew up in the West Bank and immigrated to Los Angeles. He says he was taught by his parents to use his individual gifts to help the world. He felt it was a no-brainer to go to Gaza.
