What I Saw Wasn't War — It Was Annihilation

   Source: Democracy Now Feb 23, 2024 No Comments


In an interview, an American doctor who just back from Gaza talks 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, has worked in conflict zones around the world.

Irfan 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.
