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."

These foreign doctors volunteering to come to Gaza deserve the Nobel prize of Peace. They are real HEROES ❤
Most of all…they should be free to move around to help suffering people.
Exactly they should be treated like heroes and people should stop following useless celebrities
They’ll be completely ignored and people like Donald Trump will be hailed as heroes.
Indeed
@@Michael0663-qo4wx isn’t that mind boggling…one…wants to help humanity the other wants to undermine every good thing humanity stands for.
Dr Hamawy...the very definition of integrity and humaneness.
And compassion.
I'm not religious, but God Bless this man
I'm humbled by his courage and humanity.
I stand with Doc Adam and I'm proud to be the kind of American we were raised to be. Although our government practices it behind our back we are not taught inhumanity.
Ameen
Same - not religious, but thank God for people like him
He's considered a gentile, they don't care if he's a doctor or a baby
Listen to the sound of morality and humanity versus Satanyahu and the devils of his administration
TRUTH
Satanyahu and his minions are the children of Satan.
These doctors should get the Nobel Peace Prize.
His name should be more widespread.
For emotional stupidity......agreed!
My Respect for this Doctor
A true American hero. Come back home safe, brother.
You are being bombed by military equipment supplied by your government
If the MF IDF let him back safe even the UN has been take down but the IDF god i'm deeply sick of this i'm tired really tired, imagine this happening to your country us and uk destroyed all the middle east countries
Definitely ❤
Stop the genocide
Recent Genocides: Darfur 400,000- Rwanda 800,000 - Bosnia 200,000 - Syria 500,000 - Taliban 160,000 - Yemen 375,000 - Ukraine 83,000
So Gazan non militants including women and children 15,000 is hardly genocide, but the consequence of Hamas's actions. So why just Gaza?????
@@NickL_76 Because antisemitism.
@@wendyannh exactly 💯 thank you
@@NickL_76 Anti Semites.
Willingly put their life in danger for saving others, even risking for being a victim of the oppressors, working day and nights without concerning their own safety, truly a heroes... Respect...
When I heard her explain the UNs plan I was so taken aback that this is what it has come down too human guinea pigs. Wtf
Thank you Amy, Juan, and Dr. Hamawy. What a living nightmare Palestinians are experiencing. Thankful for the doctors, nurses & others offering their care under such horrendous circumstances.
Can you HEAR that BIDEN ?
He doesn't care. Blinken is in control, and Blinken is a sadistic naxi
I agree 💯
Why is it our responsibility?
Of course he heard it loud and clear. But he doesn't care, just like the majority of Americans especially those who are making government policies, like Lindsay Graham who is definitely a white supremacist who think the lives of coloured people have no value.
They all hear. They don’t give a darn
This is one of the most shameful chapters in US history.
Save the doctors, defund Israel.
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
Stop brutal genocide
Give US POLITICIANS AND MILITARY OFFICERS ARREST WARRANTS FOR THEIR WAR CRIMES
learn to live together then...
the wall is a good start to live together
Stop genocide.
@@zareenacassim2025 then stop hamas
My racist grandmother in the south didn't even raise me to become this heinous. This will truly haunt every single one of us in one way or another.
If seeing suffering children won't melt hearts of supporters of this, nothing will!😢
Totally agree with you.
looks like nothing will at this point
they enjoy seeing the children this way
Just like the Nazis, Israelis have thoroughly dehumanized their perceived "enemy" and wage a genocidal campaign against them with no regard for even the life of women and children, Israel are the Nazis of our time.
Yes, I’ve seen vids of mothers holding their babies, saying they’re happy when a Palestinian child dies. It's impossible to understand that reasoning and complete lack of compassion.
This man is BRAVE
This will be a stain on our country’s legacy forever
The situation is so desperate that they are now relying on IF they don't kill them. This is so unacceptable.
God bless this man and all the medical care workers. Thanks to Democracy Now! for your tireless coverage of the truth on the ground in Gaza and all of Palestine.
Thank you Doctor Adam Hamawy
Israeli government should be immediately brought to justice for horrible Genocide and brutal war crime's
YOU AND WHO’S ARMY?
And the us and uk!
9:40 this fraud is the literal definition of DEMOCRACY😮😮😮
@@rickmartin4886 you want an army to go after jsrael?
I am 100 percent for Israel so what do you think?
Yes, it is haunting us NOW. We are all SHOCKED, and saddened by what the Palestinians are going through. Thank you doctor for your efforts and courage. What hell are we perpetrating on innocent people! Shame USA, UK and all others sending arms.
The Dr is a true lionheart. Dedicated to his mission which is to save lives, regardless of politics. He believes in good values and stands by them with his life. He saved the life of many Americans. And yet, some people will spit on him.
Rescue him. the world needs more people like him
We need the Palestinians too .
Thanks Doctor, from all those medical, they help , helpless innocent Gaza patients who butchered by IDF
Thank you Amy for the truth in Palestine. You are so appreciated.
Wow please stay safe Dr Hamawy 🥺 thank you so much for your courageous work + your bravery ⚕🩺✊
Censorship will not change the truth of bodies on the ground...
The cat is out of the bags.
I say my feeling and the truth and my comments have been deleted
@@maryannemckay5766 Did you express your horror over 10/7?
@@carrerau7138 I did, but Israel quickly paled that horror.
@@carrerau7138 When was your horror of in 1948?, where has been your horror since then with the continued expansion and violent and often times deadly displacement of Palestinians to build more settlements for the European Jewish ppl colonizing native Palestinian land? Oct 7 was the result of your lack of empathy and complete disregard of the humanity and right of self-determination of the Palestinian people, now you have shown your true face and everyone in the world sees Israel as the colonizing inhumane monstruous project that it really is, Israel must be made a pariah state.
This guy is a war hero and our government can't get him out? Who is the super power? Israel? Because it really seems like that.
GOD BLESS THIS MAN HE IS ADMIRABLE I HAVE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR HIM SALUTE!
Salute to this Dr and everyone else
Thank you for what you are doing ..God bless you
Many forgot about God's commandments.Thank you for being true❤
Feel sorry for all those poor children born into that misery. Very sad.
The truest of hero’s standing up for humanity my heart and mind will never forget the doctors, nurses and aid workers risking their own lives to help the poor souls in Palestine 🇵🇸
Senator Duckworth voted for the budget stripping UNRWA of its US budget.
Is that so?? Disgustingly despicable!
Fuck worth is a Zionazi!
These doctors are HEROS ❤
Do Israelis believe in Heaven? Because no amount of penance can ever forgive taking the life of an innocent child. Ever.
They do; heaven is reference in the Old Testament.
@@maggiechan33 clearly they believe in satanism now because they’re sending so many souls to the afterlife. Misery loves company.
They don't even believe in Jesus Christ 😮
They believe in a special hereafter only for them, that is those of them who aren't atheist and secular.
Idk how many doctors should talk abt what's happening and how many videos journalists should spread so that our leaders understand that what's going on is pure evil .. All my respect to u doctor ❤️🇵🇸
How many of the interviews will it take the the US leadership to wake up and stop supporting this massacre. Thank you for continuing to shine a spotlight Democracy Now and this courageous doctor!
They’re wide awake, supporting the slaughter in every way possible.
It wasn’t Isr@el who went out of their way to block the Freedom Flotilla from leaving Turkey for Gaza with 5,000 tons of aid. It was the US.
What an incredible man ⭐️
So horrifying. My heart goes out to this doctor and I hope he gets out safely. True that the truth will "haunt us." Thank you for your excellent reports. Should go straight to Biden's ears.
Bravo Monsieur!
blessing to these doctors & others who risk their lives to help Gazans . I hope they get home safe .
May God bless and protect those brave and courageous doctors for their unconditional support for the Palestinians people 🙏🙏❤️
Rescue him
Massive respect doctor Hamawy for your courage and dedication.
This massacre must stop
Respect for all doctors & medical staff, very brave men & women
Stay safe, end the slaughter today ❤❤
God bless this doctor and all those people in Gaza! Thank you Amy for telling the truth.
We agree with everything what this heroic doctor said. EXACTLY
Thank you for risking your life. So courageous. GOD protect you all!
Spreading Freedom to the WORLD
Amazing humanitarians from all countries. Thank you all for your bravery and compassion.
Thank you dear Doctor.
Vi amiamo sosteniamo la vostra lotta, la vostra grande umanità.
Whenever war results in death or injury the war should be stopped.
It depends who are the injured and who are the people doing the slaughtering! I'm sick of the wickedness of oppressors continue to oppress and eliminate people they deemed are less than them. Sick!
@@doloresselubin5915I agree
The Genocide should be stopped
Yes, thank you for trying like me. ❤
That's as good as following Doctor's Orders!
As for implementing such an invisibly obvious Should as a human practice,
we would have to reverse our devo path and move forward on an evo path,
and maybe in a few generations we'd be evo'd enow to say "Enow's enow!"
4 now, all we can hope to do is to Stop the C O I N E D G E now.
Stay safe, fellow Vet...
These medical staff are so brave
Humanity is at test. Free Palestine
There is no place called Palestine
How did Senator Duckworth vote on aid to the region? Did she vote to continue with supplying weapons to the region?
All votes are public. For specifics, see CSPAN articles and video archives or live votes, the Congress gov website, ballotpedia, etc.
Full Context: Senator Duckworth voted for the aid bill, but has also worked closely with Sen. Merkley on support for Palestinians and Gaza.
Her site has details RE: Gaza/Palestine under a page titled _SENATOR DUCKWORTH’S EFFORTS IN RESPONSE TO THE CRISIS IN ISRAEL AND GAZA_
_But three members of the Senate Democratic Conference joined them, protesting the $14 billion in Israel aid: Peter Welch of Vermont, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who caucuses with Democrats._ - Business Insider | February 13th, 2024
@@pluribus_unumThank you.
A valuable question with a displeasing and chaotic answer -- A true sign of the times probably, and an uncanny reference point.
Reflection for the lack of a stopping point. The very same doctor potentially to be struck by our own american munitions signed off unto by the very same congress where the woman found herself going right along with the grain of the day. A rapidly beleaguered situation, one only the Biden-Clinton-Obama trifecta could have dreamed up but I sure could have mistaken it that Bush himself was back in office!
This stance is originating from the staunch warhawk based democrat group Biden and Obama originate from - however - it is one also now forced and choiceless for politicians lest they be threatened with ousting, accused of prejudice for not backing the genocide, or threatened with impeachment as Biden is currently
@@catchcookcreate Biden will not be impeached.
Thank you for all the updates on medical care. Hopefully, ❤things will change soon
Thank you Dr. Hamawy. Hopefully Duckworth changes her tune on this on going genxide.
Thank you Dr you are my
Hero
God bless this great man ❤
Look at the fear 😨 in the faces of these Palestinian mothers and children, Its absolutely disgraceful and disgusting beyond words 💔 American government should be ashamed of whats happening to those people 😢 😞 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 🇮🇪 Palestine 🇮🇪 🇵🇸
Thank you both so much.
This is a powerful interview & heartbreaking reality. 🙏
Thank you, Amy and Dr. Hamawy. Please be safe.
Heartbreaking
Thank you and all the other good people we love you
Foreign policy isn't only hypocrisy it appears, given the ongoing dialogue, to be premeditatedly malign bordering on malevolent.
Thank you Dr. thank you Amy. These words need to get out. The US must stop this war!
The US is Sponsoring this Genocide. Stop?? The US caused it!
The United States of Isreal. May God carry the people of Gaza, Sudan, and DRC to freedom🙏🏿
god bless this man
Dr Adam Hamawi I salute you. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. May God bless you
Well said Sir!! Stay safe and God Bless. From N.Z
Everyone needs to share this video now
If the most valuable people for humanity can’t have ‘safe passage’ then what hope is left for anyone to survive this horrible event? Human value has ceased to exist.
Thank you
Dr Hamawy for sharing your experience in Gaza also a Big thanku to all the medical Team Healthcare Workers Paramatics Red Crescent Civil defence you all have work tirelessly under very difficult circumstances to save lives !!!

God bless them doctors...God bless everyone there...not the evil IDF tho.
My soul hurts just listening to these things..the strength these people have is incredible ❤ ❤❤
Just making sure if we see something we’re still supposed to say something! You couldn’t pay me to do business with/a U.S. Republican.
“Been that way for 30 years.” - U.S. Justice Department on the lack of Human Rights in Oklahoma County Jail, 2020
“Makes me feel human again after this place.” - Oklahoma City Art Museum review after life in the local shelters (20+ years in the making), 2024
“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” - Nelson Mandela 🥂🥂
Exactly, and they are inhuman! We didnt care when we tortured people in the Gitmo prison, and we don’t care how we treat prisoners in America.
With deepest respect to Dr. Hamawy.
I send my heartfelt intercessory prayers for divine protection, divine intervention, for much needed humanitarian aid and resources: food, water, medical equipment and medicine for Dr. Hamawy, all the medical volunteers, aid workers, and especially all the dear suffering children in Gaza. 😥🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻😥
You do not have to be human to feel the shame ….the shame of what is being done to the civilian population for the past 7+ months..what will it take for both sides to stop this ongoing madness …..
♥ What can I say? An honest man giving his honest opinion. Like it or not America, you are not being who you say you are right now. This war is a nightmare for those in Gaza, a disgrace for the rest of us.
This is a true American hero! I am so ashamed of our country's participation in this heinous genocide! I hope that he and the other brave doctors, many who have lost their lives, receive the highest medal of honor. I pray for his safety. 😞🙏
Raytheon, Boeing, GE & Lockheed-Martin's stock prices they matter more than people unfortunately.
What heroes these doctors and nurses are!!! May Allah bless and help every soul there. How can we help with aid to them in anyway...from Singapore
How can the world , the US in particular let this depravity continue?!
This is evidence for The Hague
Respect to this doctor for his courage and humanity. His testimony is needed for the historical record.
Some people are simply amazing
Tammy Duckworth is a direct connection to Dr. Hamawy. I would hope she is sharing this with other people that she is around on a daily basis. Please please Senator Duckworth show our people here this very important segment the reality of what is going on there and what these heroic people are doing there. I wish Biden could see this segment.
Deep respect for you Dr. ❤
Your medical services are worth rewarding .....❤❤❤
Thankyou for your report.stay safe
Sadly, Doctor, this is your country. History has spoken.
Gracias a los médicos de tan buen corazón ♥️

Thank you Dr.
No. The USA put a moritorium on news from Viet nam many years ago... They will do the same now!
No, please let not believe that that, it was hard to hear the USA politician think of that today 😢
Prayers.
Thank you democracy now! The eye on where it should be. Thanks from Spain.
