This Must Stop is the honest, unflinching account of surgeon Tomo Potokar's time in Gaza between 2018 and 2026. Part memoir, part poetry, part political reckoning, it bears witness to the destruction and suffering inside and outside Gaza's hospitals.

Weaving together his experiences in Gaza with decades of work in humanitarian crisis zones around the world, Potokar interrogates how corrupt individuals and systems fuel war, inequality and human suffering. He asks readers to confront a painful truth: the suffering of so many is caused by so few.

A lyrical exploration of conflict and humanity, This Must Stop urges us to pause and think deeply about our actions. At once clear-sighted and hopeful, Potokar offers that, despite the violence, trauma and tragedy that tear us apart, it's our humanity that binds us together.

Potokar, Tomo: - Tomo Potokar is a humanitarian plastic surgeon of British Slovene descent. Since starting out with Médecins Sans Frontières in 1990, he has worked across the globe, providing medical care and training and supporting health workers to manage patients with burns and traumatic injuries in fragile and under-resourced environments. In 2017 Tomo was awarded an OBE for services to Global Burn Care and Prevention and in 2025 received the Medal for Honourable Conduct from the President of Slovenia in recognition of his services to humanity helping those who suffer and are in need, regardless of their origin, language, skin colour or circumstances and for providing devoted care to the injured and sick in crisis and warzones in Gaza and elsewhere around the world. Tomo has been writing for over forty years, mostly poetry and short reflections based on his travels, experiences and the many facets of human nature. This is his first published work outside of medical journals. He is married with two adult children and lives in France.
