Australian doctors working in Gaza warn that the health impacts of the ongoing conflict could take decades to resolve, with both physical injuries and deep psychological trauma affecting the population. Emergency physician Thienminh Dinh described widespread malnutrition, amputations, and intergenerational emotional scars, noting that even young children are processing their experiences through harrowing drawings. Despite a fragile ceasefire allowing some aid into the region, severe shortages of medical supplies persist, and access to essential treatments and prosthetics remains extremely limited. Medical staff themselves are also facing significant emotional strain, as the humanitarian situation continues to pose immense challenges for both patients and caregivers.
