For those who have sworn off Democracy Now - I don't expect you to view this and no need to tell me you won't. I already know it!

For those who are interested please watch as it's really important - and disturbing. And heartbreaking - especially when the interview continues with Rajaa Musleh, the country representative in Gaza of MedGlobal, a medical humanitarian aid group who previously worked as a nurse at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. It was impossible for me to hold back the tears watching and listening to her, as she tried also to hold back the tears.

Her words:

I’m here in Chicago just to send my people’s message: We need ceasefire now. We need ceasefire now. Enough is enough. More than one year, and the people inside Gaza are suffering from and taste many types of death. Enough is enough. Three hundred sixty-five days, and the people inside Gaza taste all kind of death.

I’m witness the horrible of this war. I’m witness four wars before, and this war is completely different, the death everywhere, the suffering everywhere. The people just eat one time. They save the food for the children. And the children are suffering from malnutrition inside Gaza.

My message for the whole world: We are human beings. We are not numbers. We have the right to receive healthcare inside Gaza. We have the right to raise up our children. We have the right to return back our lives, our dignity. We have the right to rebuild our universities, our schools. We are human beings, and we are not numbers.
