Biografi

[sunting | sunting sumber]

Hammam Alloh menjalani pendidikan sekolah menengah di Gaza sebelum meninggalkan Gaza untuk belajar perubatan dan layak sebagai pakar nefrologi. Beliau kembali ke Gaza selepas 14 tahun.[1] Sekembalinya, beliau adalah satu-satunya pakar nefrologi di Gaza.[2]

Selepas serangan udara Israel di Gaza bermula pada Oktober 2023, Hammam memberikan beberapa wawancara kepada media Barat tentang situasi perubatan di Gaza.[3] Pada 26 Oktober, beliau memberikan wawancara lanjutan kepada Maya Rosen dari Jewish Currents:

This is not the medicine I thought I would be practicing. I always wanted to progress in my field—to learn more, to teach more. In Gaza, I haven’t been able to do that. I hope to raise my kids to be ambitious—not to think about war, missiles, rockets. Every day, I see a fear in their eyes that I can’t do much about. It’s very painful. If you have kids, you know how horrible it is not to be able to comfort them, to ensure they are alright, to make them hope for anything beyond living one more day. We want to live freely like other people—to grow scientifically and economically, to walk in the street without fearing bombardments, to make plans. We want to be able to learn, think, grow, travel, dream—to feel like we are really human. Not to think only about meeting our basic needs. This is what life has always been about for us, and now—I want the world to know—we are being eradicated en masse. This is not what life should look like.[1]

Pada 31 Oktober, Hammam telah mengadakan wawancara dengan Democracy Now! tentang keadaan di Hospital al-Shifa dan keputusannya untuk terus bekerja di sana.[4]
