Dr. Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor, Who has been treating hundreds
of victims wounded in Israel’s ongoing assault, including young
children. Dr. Gilbert says hospitals are operating without electricity,
water and proper medical supplies, but adds: “As a medical doctor, my
appeal is don’t send bandages, don’t send syringes, don’t send medical
teams. The most important medical thing you can do now is to force
Israel to stop the bombing and lift the siege of Gaza.” Gilbert recently
recently submitted a report to the United Nations on the state of the
Gaza health sector in 2014. “Where is the decency in the U.S. government
allowing Israel this impunity to punish the whole civilian population
in Gaza?”
so far, close to 170 Palestinians have been killed, among them 36
children and 24 women. And among the 1,232 injured, there are 346
children and 256 women. So, 50 percent of the injured are women and
children. Now, this tells you that these attacks are not targeting the
militarists in Palestine, in Gaza. These attacks are targeting the whole
population in order to intimidate them and to force them to give up
their resistance. I’ve been to Gaza through the last 17 years, and every
time it is the same story. Israelis are accusing the Palestinians of
attacking them; they have to defend themselves, they claim. Actually,
the truth is the exact opposite. Israel is the attacker, the occupant.
Internationally, they are responsible, according to the law, for the
security and the well-being of the occupied population, whereas in fact
Israel is doing their utmost to kill them and to make their life as
miserable as possible through these seven years of siege.
