by webdev@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#6TK11)
We speak with journalists Steven Thrasher and Afeef Nessouli about their new report for The Intercept, which examines how queer, HIV-positive Palestinians are struggling to survive in Gaza with limited access to medication due to Israel's siege and ongoing attacks on the territory. The report centers on E.S., a young Palestinian man who is HIV-positive and who has been in a race against time," says Nessouli. The genocide is making it impossible to get medication to people like E.S.," adds Thrasher.
