About Gaza Strip Doctors Urging Arms Embargo on Israel
A group of doctors who recently returned from providing medical care in Gaza are calling on the Biden administration to impose an immediate arms embargo on Israel. They argue that without this action, the US is complicit in the bloodshed that has devastated the region.
Speaking at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Dr. Tammy Abughanim emphasized the dire situation in Gaza, stating that civilians are facing unimaginable hardships due to Israel’s ongoing conflict. The doctors highlighted the need for urgent intervention to prevent further suffering.
Dr. Feroze Sidhwa recounted the atrocities he witnessed in Gaza, including the indiscriminate violence that has led to widespread destruction and loss of life. He urged the US government to stop supplying weapons that perpetuate the cycle of violence in the region.
The doctors emphasized the importance of humanitarian aid and the urgency of addressing the medical supply shortages that are exacerbating the crisis in Gaza. They called for immediate action to protect the lives and well-being of Palestinians in the region.
