Subject: Urgent Call for Action on Israeli-U.S. Attacks on Medical Facilities
Dear President Biden and Vice President Harris,
I write with deep concern over reports of Israeli assaults on medical facilities in Gaza and Lebanon. Dr. Bing Li, a U.S. Army veteran and emergency physician now volunteering in Beirut, has described the horrifying conditions under which she and other medical personnel are working. She reports that hospitals, ambulances, and medical workers have been directly targeted.
Earlier this year, Dr. Li volunteered at the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, where she witnessed the overwhelming suffering firsthand, stating, “It feels like death is everywhere.” She warns that Israel’s forced evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia is effectively a death sentence for patients, including children in intensive care.
Now in Lebanon, Dr. Li is preparing for a surge in healthcare needs as the conflict intensifies. Meanwhile, a United Nations team has accused Israel of war crimes, including deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities. As the siege in northern Gaza continues, at least 63 more Palestinians have lost their lives.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, has issued an urgent plea for international intervention, stressing that without fuel and medical supplies, many—including children—will not survive. The dire shortage of medical aid underscores the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Lebanon.
I urge you to condemn these attacks and push for immediate action to protect civilians, hospitals, and aid workers. The U.S. must advocate for a ceasefire and ensure critical humanitarian aid reaches those in need and issue an immediate embargo on delivery of weapons to Israel. Israel’s actions are NOT defensive but genocidal. Our once great country is falling into a blackhole of moral depravity.
