Dr. Ahmed Alqady and Dr. Abdullah Almobayed are Palestinian physicians from Gaza. They established a small medical point/clinic inside a simple tent following the destruction of most medical facilities in the area.

They joined us from Gaza to talk about how difficult it is to administer medical services in an area that has at least 100,000 displaced people, many of whom have had extremely limited access to essential healthcare and basic medical services for the last two plus years.

They describe the unimaginable suffering: families losing their homes and loved ones, children arriving with injuries, elderly patients struggling with chronic diseases, and civilians living without reliable access to basic healthcare. Yet they are adamant that they will not abandon their patients nor their people.

Hala Hanina is an academic, a writer, a student of colonialism and host of the podcast, Falasteeniya. She left Gaza to complete her PhD a few days before October 7th. Now in London, she lives a life in many realms, pursuing academia, constantly checking in on her family in Gaza, and helping to platform the voices that might otherwise go unheard.

She shares the story of her own wedding day and talks about how the Gaza of then, and many of the people who attended, no longer exist. We also share our mutual experiences of using our platforms to raise voices and capture stories.
