A group of 152 American medical professionals who volunteered in Gaza over the past nearly two years called on President Donald Trump on Wednesday to end US support for Israel’s attacks on the enclave, citing firsthand experience working in its hospitals during the war.
In a letter to Trump, they said Washington should immediately end its military, economic and diplomatic support for the “ongoing destruction” in Gaza and back an international arms embargo on all warring parties, describing the move as “the right thing to do” and saying it is required under US and international law.
“Today we beg you to hear the cries of Gaza’s children that our consciences will not let us forget. We cannot fathom why our government continues arming Israel while its armed forces kill children en masse,” they said.
The group said the scale of violence against Gaza’s civilians is “unlike anything any of us has ever seen.”
The health workers said they routinely treated severely injured children in Gaza, including cases of burns, dismemberment, gunshot wounds and other trauma, adding they even witnessed these injuries in fetuses whose mothers were killed by “American-made bombs dropped on them by Israeli forces.”
