Dr Elessi is active on the social media. He has an account on the X platform frequently posting on different aspects of his work and the on-going war on Gaza.

Like hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Gaza, he’s being pursued by Israel forcing him to keep moving from place to place.

One has to only search his name on the internet to learn how his research has contributed to humanity with his name appearing on the website of Cambridge University in the UK.

Andy Worthington, a British journalist wrote: Like all of Gaza’s 2 million plus civilians, Professor Khamis Elessi has been reduced to a medieval destitution and constant risk of death.

Worthington comments that western leaders don’t care about the credentials of professor Elessi and the fact that he is an international-renowned medical professor and a fellow at Cambridge University. “Like Israel, they regard being a Palestinian is a crime.”

Dr Khamis became the first professor of medicine in the whole of the Gaza Strip in 2021. Professor Shafi Ahmad wrote Dr Khamis is “one of the most inspirational people that I have ever met.”

His career soon started after he got his medical degree from the Far Eastern University in Manila in 1998, getting an MA in Southampton University in the UK, and he did a stint at Tel Aviv University and Tel-hashomer Hospital in Israel.

In commentary on his painting artist Said Elata said: This is my painting of Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed by Israeli forces, and who proceeded to beat the friends and family of the people who were carrying Shireen’s coffin at her funeral.
