NOTABLE QUOTES:

“The number of kids has gone up exponentially. They’ve doubled since the March (2024) trip – the number of children that I’ve seen.”

“After the GHF shooting, when (the victims) all came in, immediately the next journalist (I spoke to) was saying to me that “Israel has denied that they’ve shot anyone and you know, they’re saying that it’s the Palestinians shooting each other”. And then they sort of said, “Nobody’s been killed”, and I was standing in the emergency department with 30 body bags, thinking, you can’t lie like this. You just can’t.”
