TL;DR

Dr. Nick Maynard recounts the case of an 11-year-old girl who died weeks after successful reconstructive surgery, which he attributes to Israel's blockade of Gaza.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Dr. Nick Maynard, a British consultant surgeon, told The Zioneer in an interview that an 11-year-old Gaza girl he operated on died roughly four weeks after successful reconstructive surgery, describing her death as 'preventable' and attributing it to Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. 'The case has haunted me ever since,' Maynard said, noting that the child had undergone a complex reconstruction but could not receive the follow-up care and supplies needed in Gaza. The interview and the doctor's account are published on YouTube. The surgeon's allegations are not independently verified by The Zioneer.
