Since the start of the war in Gaza, 31 out of 36 hospitals have been damaged or destroyed, some multiple times, according to the European Commission. We collected the testimonies of 9 doctors and healthcare professionals who were there as it happened. Some are still there now. Many of them have worked in several conflict zones before, but they say nothing prepared them for what they saw in Gaza.
