When a group of volunteer doctors with the Palestinian American Medical Association traveled to Gaza last month, they were prepared to treat some of the most horrific injuries caused by Israel's relentless assault on civilians in Gaza. But they were not prepared to be stranded under the bombardment for over a week after the Israeli military seized and closed the border crossing into the southern end of the besieged region, preventing people and supplies from getting in or out. Dr. Adam Hamawy, a plastic surgeon and Army veteran from New Jersey, has now evacuated Gaza after he was trapped at European Hospital in Khan Younis with dwindling supplies. Hamawy, who previously treated Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth for a life-threatening injury while both were in the Army, was offered evacuation along with another group of American doctors days earlier, but refused to leave without first securing the release of his entire volunteer medical team. He now emphasizes that he and his colleagues must be immediately replaced with additional humanitarian relief workers. "It was never a condition for our exit to have other people come in - it was an expectation," he says. "A hospital cannot run on just a few doctors alone. It also needs nurses, it needs staff."

STOP THIS GENOCIDE. Never again is never again for EVERYBODY 🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸♥️🇵🇸♥️
I've never heard "progressives" or DN give a crap about Ukrainians.
I F*UCKING hate what is happening... STOP this NOW
The whole world, including Biden has told Israel to stop. Except Trump. He told Israel to annihilate Gaza. Too bad DN is helping Trump get elected by trashing Biden all the time.
excellent interview shame on Israel for targeting doctors & hospitals
Civilians and children 💔🇵🇸🇵🇸
It shows what a psychopathic cult Zionism is.
@@azalia423YES, i agree!
Israel want to kill all Palestinians.
"Since its establishment, Israel has engaged in brutal oppression of the rights of Palestinians. Thousands of Palestinians are imprisoned, beaten and tortured; children are taken from their beds and beaten by soldiers who are armed to the teeth." - MKO Peled
Yes, its absolutely sickening!
What is broken within people to not decry this level of violence??!
It is so very BASIC.
Zionazism.
Empathy is not valued.
There's wars going on in Africa all the time. There was a professor that protested Biden because of US policy in relation to the Congo at Morehouse College.
Ban AIPAC. Keep money for American FAMILIES in Need
the evils have to stop it right now! when go this devils to jail?? 😢😢😢
what hurts me the most is the case of the mother who was injured, she gave birth to her baby alone then they died together.
😅
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😮
Sorry, I dozed off with my phone in my hand, I did NOT mean for the above response to go out. That is completely the opposite of my feelings. I agree with original poster.
@@valcwf551you know that you can delete it? 🌍
It's tragic that Hamas didn't think about mothers and babies before they started a war.
These atrocities are absolutely sickening and must be STOPPED immediately! 🙏
what affected me the most in this war is the babies born (removed) from dead mothers..
Those 16,000+ dead babies & children -- and Israel starving all those they cannot kill -- seems pretty damned bad to me.

I heard that a Palestinian doctor testified before the French senate about this. It was the doc who was originally banned from entering France. He had worked at Al Shifa, and after it was bombed he helped deliver 5 babies from mothers killed in the bombing. When the IDF showed they took the babies. A few days later the newborns were discovered in a parking lot where they had been left to die. Truly horrific. But I can't find the first hand testimony.
My heart breaks knowing what this doctor and other real heroes have witnessed in this and other savage wars. Thank you so much for your efforts Doctor. Not many rich people die in wars.
This is insanity.
Absolute insanity.
We must not give up in the face of such atrocities.
It's tough.
It’s pretty sad when you get tired of hearing the atrocities happening in Gaza because they just keep reporting it and nothing is done hopefully someday they’ll come to Justice.
No they will not but you keep telling yourself that lie ! You only need to look out your window here in the USA to see the truth I have seen NO natives and former slaves are STILL treated like crap and half citizens and nothing has truly changed in over 300 years so no nothing will change !
Mr Maga himself has described his way of responding to adversity in blunt terms: “I’m a counterpuncher,” he told Megyn Kelly in 2016. “I then respond times maybe 10. … I mean, I respond pretty strongly.”
@maryhelman4091 - fascists will counter punch until we give in or give up. we must continue, even as we know that MAGA will win in 2024 and genocide Joe will lose.
In 10 year or so, the Eddys created by this movement will become the current in the river.
Brave man 🙏
poor Dr looks so shell shocked
Stop the genocide!
The truth will come from the doctors. I hope they'll keep talking, write books etc when this is over.
Books about the atrocities by Israel have been written before with few paying much attention to them until people could see it on the screen.

@@mariahewitt9787 Of course, but I am talking about this war. When so many Western medias have simply silenced it.
@@ingehanson That is not my point. My point is now. Full scale, in plain sight.
Israel will never let the world forget about one day of retaliation by the real victims, while never letting you remember the 75 years of their brutality against Palestinians
Had Israel chosen to only go after Hamas, that wouldn't have been a war crime. It is the targeting of babies, children & other innocent Palestinians that world is upset about ... except, of course, for Joe Biden & MAGA ... because they're defending Netanyahu against those charges. Apparently, Shufllin' Joe and Diaper Don just love to see dead babies, bombed-out hospitals and starving innocent people. "No war crimes there" say Biden & Trump.
Pure Hasbara.
Very true, and the collective amnesia of the mainstream media regarding the 75 years of oppression is absolutely mind blowing! 🤔
@@christie883 Not too surprising when you consider the source
Biden and Congress are accountable
Thank you, Democracy Now.
what affected me the most in this war is the stolen parts....they were victims of robbery alive & dead.
Who stole them??
ISRAELI enjoy universal healthcare coverage AMERICANS do not. who needs most to keep his TAX money for internal needs?
Israel by its acts worked very hard to rise awareness of the need of Palestine statehood. Now, Israeli is harvesting the fruits of their efforts because more countries are recognizing the Palestine statehood.
Free Palestine 🇪🇭
Now you have to fight Doc, OUT LOUD FOR ALL TO SEE
What kinda world is this we’re living in........God please make it stop!! Amen!
If god makes it stop. I’ll take a 2nd look at religion. 🧐🥺🤔🤓
Crazy right a world where the one who cast the stone 🪨 yet calls for peace 🕊️😔

@@curtrice1264 Does “God” signify or point to a particular religion my friend?🤓 In our earthly world, “God” has for the most part been a mysterious deity of which humans have somehow put a sex on “God”.
But God is not a religion. God is an infinite mystery 👁️

Thank you Doctor.
My heart is broken to see this happening
Oh my
I'm certain that whatever habituation watchers of these cruel abuses are experiencing the residents of Palestine have reached and surpassed long ago.
"It's just Isreal again." .
We don't deserve God's forgiveness for allowing this to happen
My God,And to think Biden can stop 🛑 all this with a phone call.#🇵🇸💔🍉🍉🍉🍉🥺⚖️☮️😇Bless all the people of Gaza.
Thank you Dr.

Why doesn't my country, Germany, respond in a humane way and join Ireland, Norway and Spain!

That crazy omg
Ich bin nur noch schockiert .Diese Unmenschlichkeit ist nicht mehr zu ertragen.😢😢 shame für alle die dazu beitragen und nicht stoppen wollen?Wo ist die UN ?
❤
Ask the right one, ask America. It blocked all with its veto power.
The UN is being directly threatened & attacked by Israel, defunded and smeared by the US. Where is Europe!? 😡😡😡😡
The UN, the ICJ, the ICJ are doing their jobs under extreme undermining of the West.
Don't you try to blame the UN, when it is the US who has vetoed all chances for humanity. What is the US but an evil country!
😔
There were your israelly doctors in iraq and they were removing good organs from wounded organs from wounded iraqies and selling them. Gary busey played this role in a movie and ruined this career.billy Zane did something similar
Would you see this happening in other countries? No, you would not this is discrimination against the Palestinian people!🎉
What would happen in other countries if a terrorist militia fired rockets at it, crossed their borders, murdered thousands of their citizens, and took hundreds more hostage?
Free the hostages
Their most desperate hour. He showed that the IDF destroyed hospital CT scanners!
Amy and watchers (of which I have been for years). Do you still support Ms. Tasbassum after what she said in her commencement speech?
She didn't say anything in her commencement speech since the university didn't allow her to give one. She did later provide the text of it, but all it said was thanks and congratulations, because it was blacked-out implying her speech was just going to be the standard congratulations everyone graduation speech.
I think its kind of weird sometimes that Amy takes more time piling on multiple questions that couldn't possibly be answered in time rather than wittling down the questions to match up with the air time allotment. There's no "points" being scored or information being transmitted to questions that can't be answered. This is just a light criticism, I of course love the work at DN!
Why is this real allowed to do this and why is the US helping I’m going other countries? I’m plagued by finding a proper answer
😦🥲
If they are warned to leave and don't it's their own fault.
Get rid of Hamas in the hospitals!
Satanyahu is dangerous
It looks like Israel’s leader is way too close to the subject matter he’s not a professional he never should have been allowed to make the choice to go to war
Did he make the choice to go to war or was war forced on Israel on October 7th?
@@user-oz7hu3sb8l war wasn’t forced onto him grow up no more than the vaccine was forced on people right he made a choice
Palestinian holocaust.
biden handlers NoT REAL HAPPY
Notice how DN never reports that on Trump's environmental plans? DN NEVER criticizes Trump, Putin or Hamas. It's weird.
Anti Capitalism Propaganda
Socialist propaganda
Does he blame Hamas?
What are you talking about? Pay attention!
Hamas is an Islamic terrorist group that hides behind women and children and stores weapons in schools, hospitals, mosques...etc. Hamas has been a disaster for the Palestinians who live in Gaza.@@OmANnIe
@@OmANnIe Most of lsraeIs dwindling supporters don't see the PaIestinians as human beings, so it wouldn't matter what lsraeI did or what people like Dr. Hamawy say - they'd just ignore it or make excuses because their humanity is long gone. At least there are still people of conscience like Dr. Hamawy in the world.
_"You _*_must_*_ criticize lsraeI if you at all want anything good for the Jews in the world because what lsraeI is doing [in PaIestine] is destroying the Jewish world and the Jewish heritage."_ -Dr. Hajo Meyer
No only Israel is to blame.
They brung this upon themselves by supporting Hamas.
You don't know nothing. You only believe in the lies of the zionist israeli state. They are lieing from the begining.
United States Deputy Ambassador to the U.N. Robert Wood and others stood at the U.N. Security Council for a minute to honor President and terrorist Raisi.
These civilians should evaluate but they are trying to protect their Hamas terrorists friends heroes so it's their own fault.
If you would have a brain, you would'nt talk this bullshit.
