GAZA, August 2, 2025 (WAFA) – British surgeon Graeme Groom, who returned from a volunteer mission in the Gaza Strip, which is facing Israeli genocide and starvation, said that children there are “trying to sleep with stomachs full of water and salt,” amid a “man-made” humanitarian crisis he described as “barbaric, harking back to the Middle Ages.”

Groom referred to “shocking scenes he witnessed while working with a volunteer medical team” in Gaza, where Palestinians are suffering from famine and malnutrition, which have caused the deaths of dozens of infants and the deterioration of the condition of wounded civilians.
