> Medical workers in Gaza are grappling with psychological trauma from bereavement, witnessing death and years of relentless work during what the report calls Israel’s genocidal war. Two Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital staff members describe how family losses disrupted their work and lives; one later returned after starting a new family. Gaza’s Government Media Office says at least 1,700 medical personnel have been killed, while many healthcare workers lack mental health services.
