Egypt's Medical Syndicate Mourns Killing of Egyptian Physician Mahmoud Abu Amsha in Gaza by Israeli Forces
The Egyptian Medical Syndicate has mourned the loss of Egyptian physician Mahmoud Abu Amsha, 27- photo from the Egyptian Medical Syndicate CAIRO – 12 April 2025: The Egyptian Medical Syndicate has mourned the killing of Egyptian physician Mahmoud Abu Amsha, 27, who was martyred in the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces while providing medical care to injured Palestinians amid the ongoing war on the besieged enclave. Since the start of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023, Dr. Abu Amsha had been moving between hospitals across Gaza—from north to south—performing surgeries and treating the wounded in overcrowded corridors, the Syndicate said in a statement released Friday. Dr. Abu Amsha had volunteered to treat the victims of the war, the Syndicate added, extending its deepest condolences to his family and colleagues in the medical field. The Egyptian Medical Syndicate emphasized that what is happening in Gaza constitutes more than a military operation—it is a crime against humanity being carried out in full view of the international community. The targeting of doctors and medical personnel, it said, is part of a broader pattern of violations occurring amid global silence. 'We condemn this shameful silence, which serves to legitimize the crimes of the occupation. We call for immediate action to lift the siege, protect civilians, and hold those responsible accountable. The blood of Dr. Mahmoud Abu Amsha, and all martyrs of humanity, will remain a testament to this global inaction,' the statement concluded.

The announcement was made during a press conference where a coalition of unions reaffirmed their support for Palestine Jan 29, 2025 The Egyptian Medical Syndicate has announced its mobilisation of at least 2,000 doctors to aid in the rebuilding of Gaza's healthcare system. This falls in as part of an urgent and long term plan to support Gaza's health sector, which has been strategically and methodically devastated by Israeli forces since October 2023. Immediate actions will include sending medical teams and establishing field hospitals, while long term efforts are being coordinated with Palestinian health authorities in Gaza to assist with the reconstruction. The announcement was made during a press conference held by a coalition of professional unions at the Journalists Syndicate, where they reaffirmed their support for Palestine and rejected any talk of displacing Palestinians from their land. During the conference, the head of the medical syndicate also condemned US President Donald Trump's suggestion that Palestinians should leave Gaza for Egypt and Jordan.
