Dr. Maria Bauducci

He amputated a fully conscious 5 year old girl's leg hoping she would faint from the pain. Dr Mark Perlmutter is an American Jewish orthopaedic and hand surgeon who treated victims of 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and numerous other disasters before volunteering in Gaza in 2024 and returning in 2025. Some of the barbarity he saw. I've been going through a lot of these testimonies by physicians in Gaza, this is the first one that made me gag while listening. There is no form of pain depicted in the history of the horror movie genre that Israelis have not inflicted on people in Gaza. 1. For the first time in his life, he held a baby's brain in his hands. The child's head had suffered catastrophic injuries. It was the first of several such cases. He had spent decades operating in disaster zones. Nothing had prepared him for this. 2. He examined children shot twice, once in the chest and once in the head. The bullet wounds were extraordinarily precise. Perlmutter concluded that Israeli snipers were deliberately targeting children. He couldn't believe such injuries were accidental. 3. He removed shrapnel the size of his thumb from eight-year-old children. He saw children burned beyond recognition, crushed beneath collapsed buildings and missing entire parts of their bodies. 4. Nine-year-old Juri had maggots crawling inside her wounds. Parts of her thigh were missing. Surgeons removed nearly two kilograms of dead tissue. When she woke, she asked for her father. She feared he was dead. He was alive, desperately searching for food she might eat. 5. A mother named Israa had watched her four children disappear beneath their collapsing home. Perlmutter and his colleagues spent almost four hours operating on her shattered limbs and other injuries. She survived. Her family had been buried beneath the rubble. 6. Fifteen-year-old Rafiq was dying for want of an inexpensive feeding tube. He was severely malnourished, with devastating abdominal injuries and wounds that made sitting or lying on his back unbearable. His doctors warned that without evacuation, he would die. The equipment needed to feed him cost approximately $11. 7. He described amputating a five-year-old girl's leg without anaesthesia. The child remained conscious. The doctors sang to her as they worked, hoping she would faint from the pain. 8. A fifteen-year-old girl was shot while riding her bicycle. She arrived with catastrophic wounds to her limbs. According to accounts relayed to Perlmutter, an Israeli military helicopter had fired at her. He feared she might lose more than one limb. 9. Another fifteen-year-old was travelling with his grandmother when their car was struck. His grandmother died. The boy lost a foot, suffered extensive injuries to his remaining limbs and underwent hours of emergency vascular surgery. Perlmutter feared he might not survive. 10. A dying boy reached for his trouser leg. The child lay on the floor among the wounded, too weak to speak. Perlmutter knew he couldn't save him. Other patients still had a chance. He had to pull his leg away and move on. Perlmutter estimated that the suffering he witnessed during his first week in Gaza exceeded everything he had encountered across decades of humanitarian missions. He returned to America carrying photographs, medical testimony and memories of children he had been unable to save. His work in Gaza also transformed his relationship with Israel, which he had previously supported. He continues to speak publicly about what he witnessed. He went to Gaza to repair shattered limbs. He returned determined to confront the world with the children those limbs belonged to. Sources in comment. Apart from the video itself. Not that it matters, because those who enjoy all this horror love to make it worse by denying it or regurgitating simpleton hasbarah excuses for it.
