An open letter from @FerozeSidhwa & I as we serve on a humanitarian mission in Gaza, you can read the letter in image form or read the 🧵: On March 25 the two of us, an orthopedic surgeon and a trauma surgeon, traveled to the Gaza Strip to work at Gaza European Hospital.

Last night in Gaza, we operated on a 15 year old girl who was riding her bike when she was shredded by an Apache helicopter. She will be lucky if she keeps 2 of her limbs after 12 hours of collective surgery

2 nights ago, a 13 yr old boy & his grandma were ordered to evacuate from Gaza city by the IDF. As they were driving south, their car was minced by 2 Apache helicopter gun ships, killing the grandma instantly. He lost both legs and right arm. His crime: being a Palestinian

Al Jazeera banned in Israel. It has never been more important to support independent journalism so that the truth of what is happening in Gaza can be presented to international criminal courts. Plz support independent journalism by sharing and donating. gofund.me/e6d71a14

We urge anyone who reads this to publicly oppose sending weapons to Israel as long as this genocide continues, until the Israeli siege of Gaza is lifted, and until an end to the occupation can be negotiated.

If a rat is found inside of an Israeli orphanage, would Netanyahu burn down the entire orphanage and incinerate all of the children within it merely to exterminate the single rat? Hamas is 0.01% of Gaza & the extermination of its population is a genocidal war crime.

“We cry and hurt with the people of Gaza and Palestine” Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss decried the Israel’s ongoing onslaught on Gaza at the European Summit for Palestine in Istanbul, refuting the claim that the war is in the name of Judaism. #zionism #israelpalestineconflict #gaza

We came to Gaza as two individual snowflakes trying to stop this avalanche of death and horror, and yet we also feel responsible for it.

As humanitarian surgeons we thought we had seen all manner of cruelty in the world, but neither one of us has ever experienced anything like what we found when we arrived in Gaza. We exited the van into a sea of children, all shorter and thinner than they ought to have been.

Would you accept someone cutting a hole in your neck to attach your ventilator or perhaps zipping up the body bag of your significant others?

Israel has dropped so much American ordinance on Gaza that it now exceeds the explosive force of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. More children have been killed in Gaza than were killed in all war zones in the entire world in the past four years.

We walked through the wards and immediately found evidence of horrifying violence deliberately directed at civilians and even children. A three-year-old boy shot in the head, a 12-year-old girl shot through the chest, an ICU nurse shot through the abdomen...

No conflict of any size in history has ever been this deadly to journalists, healthcare workers, or paramedics. Indeed, we and our entire team live in constant fear that Israel will attack this hospital directly, as it has with so many others.
