PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — A Portland burn nurse returned home on Saturday after a 17-day mission treating patients in Southern Gaza.
Monica Johnston said she first heard of the opportunity to provide medical help to civilians in Gaza last year through the organization Palestinian-American Medical Association.
"I hear the word ‘help,’ and my ears perk up," she told KATU on Monday, adding that her experience in the burn unit of Legacy Emanuel Medical Center led to "an absolute need to be there."
Johnston arrived in Gaza on May 1, planning to stay 13 days. She worked in the European General Hospital between Rafah and Khan Yunis.
She and other medical staff worked around the clock on patients of all ages with critical injuries. Limited supplies created grim conditions in the hospital.
Johnston said they repeatedly had to "delegate resources. That happened with a 7-year-old burn patient who had burns to 90% of their body. And I was part of the team that made the decision not to continue with wound care. He passed away two days later with his wounds infested with maggots.

No sympathy.
They F’d A.
They FO.
Did they let her attend to the American and Israeli hostages who may or may not still be alive? These people voted for Hamas. Don’t care about them.

Schadenfreude!
It’s really too bad that this isn’t happening to the filthy Rats in Washington DC. If ever there were a group that deserve to suffer, it’s democrats.
But the day is young. /spit
No nurse returning to Portland is a credible observer.
Shoulda seen Berlin in ‘45.
All of this could have been avoided. Stop killing Jews.
So don’t start a war!
Warsaw was even worse.
She’s a nurse but when she arrived in Gaza she immediately morphed into American hostage bait, no matter how virtuous her mission. They hated her before she came and they continue to hate her after she left. We don’t need the government clearing Americans to go to Gaza right now.They have enough hostages
Yeah, it was. Systematic, deliberate destruction. Block by block.
Like 7 percent 17 years ago. The Bush family and their entourage + Sunni Arab nations that didn’t do enough to build the elements of a civil society and negotiate a peace + Israel financing Hamas has more responsibility for what is happening now than children living there now.
Anyone with 90 percent burns rarely recover. But maggots on wounds suugest no one bothered to keep the wounds clean.
Yes, it’s the Bushes’ fault these people have been living in squalor and violence for centuries. OK…
She got her training in downtown Portland, thanks to the DOJ from Biden.
The elections were premature which is why Fatah and Israel were against holding the elections; Hamas and President Bush were in favor. And there is more than enough blame to go around so stop hating on nurses and kids getting bombed. Please.
It’s been 20 years and these people still let Hamas represent them. What an odd opinion you have, and I’m no fan of the Bush family.
Maggots are actually a treatment for wounds as they only eat the dead flesh. It has been used for centuries
