An excellent piece by @attackerman.bsky.social in @wired.com on the current situation of Gaza's hospitals

World Central Kitchen head José Andrés confirms Israel has closed Gaza’s borders indefinitely and warns the NGO will run out of food this week. The group is currently cooking about 1 million hot meals a day.

"We can blame the Israelis for committing genocide in Gaza all we want. But the fact of the matter is, WE committed genocide in Gaza." @cademocrats.bsky.social 🧵

In an in-depth three part-series, Dr. @ferozesidhwa.org who has volunteered in Gaza, unpacks what we actually know about Gaza's real death toll, starting with the historical context of the strip. Subscribe to zeteo.com so you don’t miss his latest piece: zeteo.com/p/real-gaza-...

"The scientific literature shows that more than 120,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023. If one attempts to account for the most obvious of design limitations in the Gaza Mortality Survey, it’s clear that the death toll is likely greater than 215,000." - @ferozesidhwa.org

“Americans like myself should ask what this says about who we are & what we’re doing...” @ferozesidhwa.org breaks down the numbers behind the Gaza genocide & challenges Americans to consider whether Israel should be allowed to use US weapons to extinguish an entire people: zeteo.com/p/truth-abou...

"On top of their medical duties, the trio feel like they are fighting an information war, practically begging for American news organizations to discuss that our tax dollars are contributing to the genocide they’re witnessing." www.rogerebert.com/festivals/su...

"But that’s the tragic reality: a teenager survives a bombing only to be killed in another one while recovering from the first." #AmericanDoctor povmagazine.com/how-american...

Once again, the American medical establishment throws its professed values out the window. GWU even forbid the students from holding a Zoom meeting with me. Keep in mind in the past two years I'm published in NEJM, JACS, JTACS, Dialogues in Health, World Journal of Surgery...

"About half of my patients were children. The other half were men and women obviously. As far as I could tell they were all civilians. I don't think I ever actually met a combatant in Gaza..."

"When asked about Israel denying entry to some American and international health workers, Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, spokesman for the U.S. Central Command, which oversees the center, declined to comment." www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Israel, backed by the United States, continues to block humanitarian physicians from entering Gaza to save kids' lives. x.com/ferozesidhwa...

Israel's Channel 13 and Raviv Drucker still more interested in Americans being blocked from doing humanitarian work in Gaza than the American press.

As usual, Israeli media are more interested in the real world than our own...

This is the banner story on @haaretzcom.bsky.social Hebrew-language website right now. It's genuinely shameful that Israeli media aggressively covers an American surgeon being barred from Gaza, while American media couldn't care less.

Thanks to @acsjacs.bsky.social for publishing our call to protect healthcare workers and patients in wartime. We hope @facs.org leadership will appreciate how dire the situation is before even more of our colleagues are murdered in conflicts from Gaza to Ukraine. journals.lww.com/journalacs/f...

I write about the need for a reckoning for attacks on health care in Gaza and an end to the erosion of the critical norms for protection of hospitals, the wounded and sick and their caregivers -- and how to achieve it. www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/a-re...

"This is what Gaza has been subjected to... These mothers, these children, these fathers, what they've been put through is absolutely, astonishingly inhumane. And I sincerely hope that Israel and the west will never do something like this again." m.youtube.com/watch?v=ftDP...

Proud to be a small part of this effort with others who've volunteered in Gaza. www.bmj.com/content/390/...

I'll be speaking at Berkeley on Oct 30 in case anyone's interested, you can register at belonging.berkeley.edu/what-i-saw-g...

Thank you to ABC News for covering our letter to President Trump about what 152 American healthcare workers saw while volunteering in Gaza. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

9/ Grateful to the other authors: Dr. Feroze Sidhwa (@ferozesidhwa.org) Dr. Yasmeen Abu Fraiha Dr. Akiva Leibowitz we all contributed equally. www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/... The paper is dedicated to the amazing medical, surgical and nursing teams of Gaza, in solidarity and camaraderie.

Thank you to @nejm.org for publishing our call to American medical institutions to stand up for our colleagues in #Gaza. The silence of American medical societies on the largest mass killing of healthcare workers in the history of the world is shocking. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

152 American healthcare workers who worked in #Gaza sent President Trump an open letter about what we saw there and why American policy needs to change immediately. You can read it at www.gazahealthcareletters.org or download it at tinyurl.com/GazaDocsLetter.

Had a good discussion at Georgetown with @naderhashemi.bsky.social and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social after a screening of Doctors Under Attack. Everyone should see this utterly devastating movie, it's on @zeteo.com. youtu.be/S7bT_CrS1Io?...

Thank you to Common Dreams for covering what American healthcare workers saw in Gaza

Today Israel bombed Nasser to kill more journalists, waited until rescue workers got up to the scene on the 4th floor, then bombed them as well. This is a video of the second strike. We are arming a country that murders first responders and journalists in hospitals.

Thank you to the @cfr.org and @thinkglobalhealth.org for publishing an analysis of US-Israeli attacks on hospitals by me and @lenrubenstein.bsky.social today, link below.

Thank you to @dropsitenews.com for covering what I said about #Gaza at the UN Security Council yesterday. But the fact is we and only we can end this insanity anytime we want, the UNSC can't do anything. x.com/dropsitenews...

Talked to Israel's Channel 13 News about #Gaza. I've said it before: the Israeli media is far more open than our own.

Had a good discussion with @rhodesben.bsky.social on Pod Save the World about #Gaza. We can stop this insanity anytime we like, all we have to do is stop sending the weapons. youtu.be/6aoTBgtQw5k?...

Had a good discussion with about #Gaza in case anyone's interested (part 1 of 2)

I received this message from an anesthesiologist in #Gaza today

Thank you to @thisamericanlife.org for covering our work in #Gaza. We can stop this insanity anytime we like.

Had a good discussion with Chris Hedges in case anyone's interested youtu.be/Ip9lEnYa4q0

Thank you to the Chest Wall Injury Society for recognizing the humanitarian work I've been doing, even though it takes me away from working with this amazing group of people

Thank you to the @newyorker.com for covering our work in #Gaza (even if my potty mouth is now a matter of public record)

Thank you to @haaretzcom.bsky.social for covering what we saw in #Gaza. This is the top story on their website today in English and on the front page in Hebrew. Again, the Israeli media is far more serious than our own. www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...
