"Another Round of Senseless Mass Killing": Report from Gaza Hospital as Israeli Strikes Kill 400+ [View all]
Israel has shattered the Gaza ceasefire agreement with Hamas, launching a massive wave of airstrikes overnight that killed hundreds of people across the Palestinian territory and wounded many others. The surprise attacks came amid stalled talks on how to extend the ceasefire signed in January, though Israel has signaled for weeks that it wanted to resume the war on Gaza. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, an American trauma surgeon volunteering at Nasser Hospital, describes some of the horrific injuries he has treated, and says it’s “heartbreaking” for Palestinians to suffer more bloodshed. “It’s all because we provide the funding, the diplomatic, the economic and the military support. And we don’t have to,” he tells Democracy Now! “We didn’t have to under Biden. We certainly don’t have to under Trump.”
