A British paramedic, Sam Sears, has described the emotional toll of his recent three-week mission in Gaza, where he worked with a frontline medical charity. Upon arrival, he faced a mass casualty incident and was tasked with placing two deceased children in body bags, a moment he called 'heartbreaking' due to the lack of dignity afforded in the chaos. Sears recounted treating a constant flow of patients suffering from severe blast, shrapnel, and gunshot wounds, and witnessing the devastating impact on children and families, including cases of severe malnutrition among newborns and pregnant women. Despite the trauma, Sears expressed a desire to return, motivated by the lives saved and the difference made amid the ongoing conflict, which has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and a dire humanitarian situation.
