"Stop This War Right Now": U.S. Doctor Who Saved Sen. Duckworth's Life in Iraq, Now Trapped in Gaza

Democracy Now! speaks with Dr. Adam Hamawy, one of around 20 American medical workers trapped in Gaza after Israel closed the Rafah border crossing into Egypt. A plastic surgeon and Army veteran, Hamawy is on a volunteer mission with the Palestinian American Medical Association at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. Like many Gazans, the U.S. medical workers are now facing dehydration and other deadly health conditions. We're continuing to do our job. ... It's tiring, but this is exactly what we need to be doing," says Hamawy, who calls on President Biden to stop supporting Israel's assault on Gaza. If my best friend is a serial killer, I'm going to stop being his friend." Hamaway describes treating massive" injuries to civilians in Khan Younis, where much of the city has been destroyed and vandalized in Hebrew. It's going to haunt all of us. ... I'm here. I see it with my own eyes. At some point in time, everyone is going to see it."
