'Palestinians are unbelievable people: Vast majority of in Gaza just want to live a normal life'

Angela Diffly is pleased to welcome Dr. Adi Nadimpalli, Medical Coordinator for Gaza with Doctors Without Borders. He offers a stark assessment of conditions in Gaza following the October 2025 ceasefire. While acknowledging that "the number of kinetic injuries and violence has decreased," he argues that the territory remains trapped in a state of profound humanitarian deterioration, marked by daily strikes, mass displacement, inadequate food supplies, collapsing living conditions, and widespread insecurity. Dr. Nadimpalli focuses on the harrowing plight of ordinary civilians and the basic requirements of human life. He attests to the resilience of Gaza's population and the conditions in which they are forced to survive. Describing Palestinians as "unbelievable people" who "would still just feed you and provide food for you no matter what," even amid famine conditions, he paints a portrait of a society enduring extraordinary hardship while struggling to preserve dignity and normality. For him, Gaza's crisis is fundamentally a human story: "There are still people here and families and teachers and doctors and bus drivers that just want to come back to a normal life."
