                                             Doctors denounce Israeli-U.S. war crimes
.

Dr. Bing Li, emergency physician and U.S. Army veteran now volunteering in Beirut reports on the utter barbarity of Israeli military assaults on Gaza and Lebanon targeting hospitals, ambulances, and medical personnel.
Earlier this year, Dr. Li also halt volunteered at Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza. Reflecting on her time there, she describes how “it feels like death is everywhere” and warns that Israel’s forced evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia is “essentially a death sentence” for patients, including children in intensive care.
Now in Lebanon, Dr. Li is helping to prepare for increased healthcare needs as the conflict escalates. Meanwhile, a team of United Nations experts has accused Israel of war crimes, including “relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities.” Reports from Gaza indicate that at least 63 more Palestinians have died amid the siege on the northern Gaza Strip.
At Kamal Adwan Hospital, medical workers struggle under Israeli-ordered evacuations. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the hospital's director, has issued an urgent plea for international intervention, emphasizing that the loss of fuel and medical services would mean certain death for many, especially children in critical care. With blocked aid and a severe shortage of medical supplies, the humanitarian crisis continues to deepen. Dr. Li’s experience underscores the perilous conditions for those providing care and those in desperate need of it, both in Gaza and now in Lebanon.
