We speak with an American doctor just back from Gaza about the unimaginable scale" of its humanitarian crisis. Irfan Galaria, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, recently wrote an op-ed for the L.A. Times describing Israel's assault on Gaza's civilians as annihilation." Dr. Galaria, who has worked in conflict zones around the world, says he and his team witnessed a collateral humanitarian crisis of an unimaginable scale," involving the deliberate attempt" to both target civilians with military assault and to deprive them of aid. I thought I was going to be prepared, but I was not prepared for what I saw," he says.
