SAFAR 2025: A State of Passion + Q&A

After 43 horrific days working round the clock under constant bombardment in the emergency rooms of Gaza’s Al Shifa and Al Ahli hospitals, British-Palestinian reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah, emerged to find himself as a face of Palestinian resistance. News footage of him and his accounts of what he had seen threw light on the deliberate targeting of medics and hospital facilities. This was Ghassan’s sixth and most horrific conflict in Gaza. Where does he find the strength to face it again and again? How does it impact his family? The answer lies simply in their shared passion: Palestine, a passion they articulate through their support of his perilous humanitarian work.
