Doctor Just Back from Gaza: Cutting UNRWA Funds Is "Unconscionable" as Hospitals Barely Functional

Description: In Part 2 of our interview with Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency room physician who spent three weeks volunteering at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, he describes how he saw UNRWA providing key aid to Palestinians displaced by Israeli attacks, including a shelter “packed with families and children” dependent on UNRWA to provide their daily meals. He says it is “unconscionable” to cut off their lifeline as hospitals are no longer able to provide basic medicine and care, and many people have died because they are “overwhelmed.” He also discusses the impact of the war on medical staff, who are working without pay, some of whom have been killed, including Dr. Hammam Alloh, who was killed when an Israeli artillery shell struck his wife’s home, killing him, his father, brother-in-law and father-in-law.
