Isaac Chotiner speaks with Yousef Hammash, a Palestinian aid worker for the Norwegian Refugee Council who currently lives in Rafah, a city in Gaza.
On Friday, I spoke by phone with Yousef Hammash, who has been an aid worker with the Norwegian Refugee Council, a humanitarian agency, for the past three years. Hammash is Palestinian, and is from the Jabalia camp in Gaza; he and his family—including two children—are currently in Rafah after fleeing their home and spending the last several months travelling from place to place in Gaza amid Israel’s bombardment. Our conversation, edited for length and clarity, is below.
Before the war, Rafah didn’t have a main hospital. It had small hospitals with a couple of operation rooms. We were always demanding a main hospital. We’re paying the consequences for that now. It is overcrowded and the staff is overwhelmed, given the amount of patients. My sister is my sister. I might lose control at any moment, so that’s why I’m out in the sun. What is the status of food and medication? Medication in general is a huge challenge.
