Apologies for the clunky link.

I think it is important to hear the accounts of the brave healthcare professionals risking their lives in this conflict zone.

Many thanks for re-posting this

Vital testimony

Thanks. Our voices matter. These brave men risked their own lives in Gaza and what they say about their experiences should not be ignored or silenced.

Thanks @Scirocco

I got a note from MN to say the thread was derailed and "we hope the article can be reposted and a good faith discussion take place".

Let's hope.

Yes me too.

It was an important thread with the absence of any independent observers or journalists these accounts are crucial. Thanks @Scirocco

Thanks op for posting it again. It’s important not to let these news forgotten.

Thank you for reposting this. I saw the mn message about the thread it had been on, and the hope expressed that it would be restarted, but was worried no one would do so. It is a vital first-hand account of what is happening to Palestinians in Gaza from US witnesses.

Another American doctor speaks to CNN.

Thank you.

Anyone just dropping in to read here, please click on the CNN link to hear what the doctor says.

I am trying to remember if it was In the deleted thread that American doctors who had nbeen in Gaza said they thought there were many more Palestinians killed than 38,000 claimed by the Hamas health authority? I was thinking of how there has been the usual claim, following the latest massacre, that the Hamas figures are wrong.
