No stranger to operating in conflict-torn counties, Richard Villar, a former SAS Medical Officer and current war surgeon, volunteered to provide medical support in Central Gaza during the 2024 invasion. In Gaza Medic, he offers a gripping and harrowing first-hand account of his experience working in the war zone, where he faced his most daunting challenges yet. Villar’s moving story transcends the politics of war to focus on the raw and often brutal realities faced by medical professionals in conflict zones. Each day brought more mass causalities, with a healthcare system on the brink of collapse and the population facing decimation.

Richard Villar is a distinguished orthopaedic surgeon with extensive experience as a war surgeon. Having served as the Medical Officer to the British SAS, he has been active in over 30 conflict zones. His expertise is recognised worldwide through his publications, lectures, and speeches. He is married with three children and five grandchildren. As a Member of the British Guild of Travel Writers, Richard cherishes the outdoors, is a committed environmentalist, and can frequently be found at the top of the nearest mountain.
