DESCRIPTION:Thirty-six hospitals served 2.2 million residents in Gaza on October 6, 
 2023.  The United Nations says that only twelve are “partially 
 functioning” today.  Israeli bombs, missiles and artillery have destroyed 
 the rest.\n\nAmbulances and vehicles transporting medical supplies have 
 also been destroyed. Electricity and fuel are severely restricted, with 
 doctors operating in the dark. Medicine (including painkillers, adrenaline 
 and anesthesia) is depleted. Surgery (including amputations on children) is 
 done while patients are wide-awake and screaming in pain. Wounded women and 
 children are dying because of the lack of medical care. Doctors and medical 
 personnel have been killed, evicted, or forced to flee…                   
               \n\nTry to imagine Hell.\n\nVoices from the Holy Land (VFHL) 
 will focus on Gaza healthcare and hospitals through three videos. Panelists 
 will discuss the destruction of hospitals, collapse of the healthcare 
 system, shortages of medical supplies, unimaginable working conditions, 
 international laws regarding hospitals in war zones, and the needs for 
 rebuilding medical capacity.\n\nWatch the film at your convenience before 
 the event.  Then join us with your thoughts and questions for our speakers 
 at the Q&A Discussion.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nGhassan Abu-Sittah: Palestinian 
 surgeon at Al Shifa and Al Ahli Arab Hospitals\nClyde Farris:  Orthopedic 
 Surgeon at Al Shifa Hospital; formerly with Doctors Without Borders 
 (MSF)\nHardin Lang:  vice president for programs and policy at Refugees 
 International (RI)\nChristos Giannou (moderator): former Chief Surgeon at 
 ICRC, former member Palestine National Council\n\n
