Dr Mohamed Shaalan had travelled to Middle East before latest attacks that killed more than 400
Dublin-based surgeon Dr. Mohamed Shaalan was blocked by Israeli officials from entering Gaza to join a medical mission following Israeli air strikes that killed over 400 people. Australian doctors he was traveling with were allowed in and report a dire need for surgeons. Dr. Shaalan, who volunteered in Gaza previously, believes his Irish passport may be a factor in the denial, citing strained Ireland-Israel relations. Local doctors report massive injuries and exhaustion.
