Israel’s War Crimes: Unleashing Disease and Starvation in Gaza

Israel’s decimation of Gaza’s health infrastructure and the total blockade of food, water, fuel, medicine into Gaza has led to a catastrophic health crisis. Palestinians in Gaza now comprise 80% of the world’s people facing extreme hunger and infectious disease is rapidly spreading.

Dr. Anis Germany, a Lebanese medical doctor and public health researcher, joins the show to discuss how Israel has purposely created a severe health crisis in Gaza and the dangerous global precedent this sets.

“This is a huge danger for everyone– the idea of normalizing bombing hospitals, normalizing starving a population and removing their access to any form of health care.” -Dr. Anis Germany
