More than 100 medical workers visited the Senate on Wednesday to demand lawmakers help stop Israel’s military offensives against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank — campaigns that the Biden administration supported and the current Trump administration has continued to back.The medical professionals are part of Doctors Against Genocide, a grassroots coalition of health care workers mobilizing against acts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The group has testified before the United Nations and the U.S. government in hopes that political leaders can prevent and intervene acts of violence.
“We’re here to talk to our Congress about our support for what seems to be the worst attack on a civilian population in this century,” Dr. John Brewer, a retired emergency physician, said at DAG’s press conference on Wednesday.
“The attack[s] on women, pregnant women, children, targeting health care workers, doctors being shot, hospitals being destroyed, sewer treatment and water treatment plants destroyed — it’s just unparalleled to anything else at the current moment.”
