“The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has released the name, the names of, I believe, 960 healthcare workers who've been killed in Gaza. That's one out of every 20. Almost every hospital has been physically attacked. Every hospital at some point has been evacuated. And healthcare basically doesn't exist in Gaza anymore. So the, we have, excuse me, we have normalized a situation in which it's normal to kill doctors. It's normal to kill nurses.”
Reporter: You talked about why you volunteered, you’ve done it elsewhere. What precedent does this set if Israel’s war continues to go on in this way and gets away with it, for civilians in war zones around the world?
Dr. Feroze Sidhwa: Yeah, well this gets back to the question of what is, it’s missing, I don’t want to contradict it, it’s misleading to call this an Israeli war, it’s a U.S.-Israeli attack on Gaza. What is the point of it? Well, that’s the reason that we’ve highlighted the large scale killing of children through shooting. It’s very hard to argue that that’s accidental over the course of a year, right? It’s very unlikely. So it just gets back to the question, what is Israel trying to do? Well, they’re trying to do exactly what they said they were trying to do, which is just to destroy Gaza. It’s not complicated. And if Israel and the U.S. are able to do this, then that method of population control for a lack of a better term is going to be exported to other places and that’s extremely scary. Furthermore, the attack on healthcare is so systematic in Israel, or excuse me, in Gaza. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has released the name, the names of, I believe, 960 healthcare workers who’ve been killed in Gaza. That’s one out of every 20. Almost every hospital has been physically attacked. Every hospital at some point has been evacuated. And healthcare basically doesn’t exist in Gaza anymore. So the, we have, excuse me, we have normalized a situation in which it’s normal to kill doctors. It’s normal to kill nurses. It’s normal to bomb hospitals from the air, with tanks, with artillery, with drones, anything you like. And, you know, as a doctor who works in war zones, that’s pretty terrifying.
