What American Doctors Saw in Gaza
A new documentary follows three physicians facing the odds: limited medical supplies, Israeli bombing, and upon returning home, media bias and indifference. The post What American Doctors Saw in Gaza appeared first on The Intercept .
Nearly three years into Israel's war on Palestinians, with no end in sight, Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza and has killed over 1,200 people since the latest ceasefire began in October 2025, according to United Nations experts. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected President Donald Trump's Board of Peace agreement with Hamas, stating that the burden continues to devastate the healthcare system in Gaza.
Doctors and humanitarian workers like Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency medicine physician, have witnessed the dire situation in Gaza firsthand. Despite the ongoing violence and restrictions on aid entering Gaza, these American doctors still ventured to provide emergency medical care to the wounded. However, upon returning home, they faced backlash from the media and lawmakers for sharing their experiences, as they were unable to find solutions to the political issues plaguing the region.
The documentary "American Doctor" captures their struggle to expose the truth and the challenges they faced while trying to help those in need.
