UK Doctor Speaks Out

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Dr. James Smith, a British emergency physician who has worked on medical missions to Gaza, said that “There is nothing legitimate about targeting hospitals. What we have seen over the past 14 months is the systematic decimation of the Palestinian healthcare system. We know that hospitals and healthcare workers sustain life and are meant to offer some safety and sanctuary.”

He added that “So targeting those hospitals forms part of Israel’s wider strategy to ethnically cleanse and exterminate the Palestinian people from the north of Gaza. To destroy and to disable Kamal Adwan, to psychologically terrorize the healthcare workers and patients, there is part of a strategy to pressure the remaining 75,000 Palestinians in the north to be forcibly displaced towards the south.”
