More Bloodshed in Gaza
Israel has broken the two-month ceasefire with Hamas, launching a devastating wave of airstrikes on Gaza that has killed at least 400 people, with more than 560 others injured. Many of the victims are children, and the death toll is expected to rise as rescue efforts continue. These attacks, which came without warning, are a harsh reminder of the human cost of the ongoing conflict.
Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, an American trauma surgeon volunteering in Gaza, paints a grim picture of the situation. He describes treating victims, many of them children, who suffer from severe injuries amid deteriorating conditions. Hospitals are overwhelmed, unable to provide adequate care due to shortages of resources and facilities. Malnutrition and dehydration compound the suffering, leaving many patients with little hope of survival.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen as Israel imposes a blockade on aid, further depriving the population of essential supplies. Dr. Sidhwa calls on Americans to demand an end to the U.S. government's support of Israel’s actions, emphasizing that this bloodshed is preventable. He urges that diplomatic, military, and economic assistance to Israel cease, in hopes of preventing further unnecessary suffering.
