Over several months, 28-year-old Dr Ashraf who is from Gaza, treated hundreds of patients in the al-Shifa and al-Kuwaiti Hospitals, including undertaking a lower-leg amputation on a patient with no anaesthetic, as none was available due to Israel’s tightening of the blockade amid its ongoing genocide. PDD host, Ahmed Alnaouq, is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers. On October 22, Israel bombed Ahmed’s family home killing most of his close family. Dr Ashraf recounts a heartbreaking story of receiving a young Palestinian girl whose family had been killed in an Israeli missile strike. Waking up in hospital, alone and her face covered in shrapnel, she asks, “Doctor, am I in heaven?” She tells Dr Ashraf that her mother had promised she would wake up in a calm, peaceful environment, “going to heaven directly” if Israel did indeed attack their family home. She died in hospital shortly after her question to Dr Ashraf.   Support us: https://www.palestinedeepdive.com/support Twitter: https://twitter.com/PDeepdive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pdeepdivegram/ Daily news: https://palestinedeepdive.us4.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=2931c4b53e89e695a30817efb&id=ea848d5a28
