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.
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
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
I could use your help reaching my fundraising goal. Every single share and donation makes a difference. gofund.me/2872ca1f
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 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
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.
Above are just a small percentage of the patients I saw just this week. The carnage inflicted by the IDF is immeasurable and it is both purely genocidal and paid for exclusively by United States and German tax dollars. Mia culpa.
