The jeep that takes us to Umm al-Khair rocks from side to side, as if we were on a boat in open water. At the wheel is Ali Awad, a Palestinian journalist from the nearby village of Tuba. Almost every formal route connecting Tuba to Umm al-Khair has been destroyed by the Zionist state; what remains is a single dirt road, crudely carved through the hills of the southern West Bank’s semi-desert of…

Hospitals in Gaza have been destroyed, medical supplies blocked, and doctors killed or detained—leaving children amputated without anesthesia, patients dying from infections, and families facing starvation and freezing conditions.

It is devastation of unimaginable proportions. Let me add this, that in Israel itself, over three quarters of a million people have demonstrated in the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem to demand the end of the war in Gaza. And today we bring you a conversation with three Palestinian doctors. We’ll talk with us about what’s happening in Gaza, what’s being done to stand up to it, how to end this war, and what’s happening to the Palestinian people in Gaza.
