“Starvation is being used as a weapon of war”: Doctor Mustafa slams global inaction at London rally

At the National March for Palestine in London, Middle East Eye’s Ava Warriner interviewed Dr Mohammed Mustafa, a British-Australian emergency physician who has spent extensive time working on the ground in Gaza. He said that the global community, including professionals like doctors, nurses, engineers, and teachers, is mobilising because political leaders are failing to act. He highlighted the immense toll on Gaza’s children, over 20,000 confirmed dead, many more suffering from acute malnutrition, trauma, and physical injury. With no access to education and widespread orphaning, he warned that Gaza has not only lost thousands of children but entire future generations.

Dr Mustafa called for an end to the UK’s arms sales to Israel and urged the government to uphold its own international laws and commitments made after World War II.
