DIARY OF A YOUNG DOCTOR Dr Ezzideen Shehab
Diary of a Young Doctor by Dr Ezzideen Shehab is a powerful first-hand account of one of the most devastating chapters in recent history.
Five days before 7 October 2023, a young Palestinian doctor returned home to Gaza to celebrate completing his medical studies. Within a week, seventy-five members of his extended family were killed in an airstrike.
In Diary of a Young Doctor, Dr Shehab recounts his extraordinary story of survival and service: months volunteering in the besieged Indonesian Hospital, treating catastrophic injuries under relentless bombardment and severe shortages. When the hospital was destroyed, he co-founded the Al-Rahma Medical Centre to provide free care in northern Gaza until it too was forced to close after repeated attacks.
Throughout, Dr Shehab’s dispatches capture both the brutality and the enduring humanity of Gaza’s doctors and patients. His voice, measured, compassionate, and unflinching, bears witness to a people’s suffering and resilience. This is a document of courage and conscience from a doctor who refused to look away.
The book will be published next month by Readers and Writers Against the Genocide (RWAG), an organisation founded by members of the Australian literary community to call for a ceasefire and advocate for a free Palestine.
Diary of a Young Doctor has already attracted early praise and support from Max Porter, Fatima Bhutto, Denise Gough, Antony Loewenstein, Amy Remeikis, and others.
This is a book that demands to be read, it’s urgent, humane, and unforgettable.
