Dr. Imad Al-Tamimi, who spent 13 days working at the European Hospital in Gaza told reporters today (06 Mar), “It’s tragic. I have been in different missions, but this was the most terrible and horrific that I have seen in my life.” He continued, “I plea that the humanity of each one of us to do something to stop this. You guys heard it in TVs and everything but honestly, we lived every single day for 13 days in Gaza, and it wasn’t easy.” “I saw it in my eyes and I’ve treated patients and I cried every single day. And thank God that I came back here to at least be their voice, not my voice, their voice,” Dr Al-Tamimi said. Rula El-Farra also spoke to reporters, she said that she lost about 150 extended family members in Gaza. She said, “Every single minute counts, every single minute signifies the death and destruction and agony of our people. She told reporters, “We asked for a permanent ceasefire and a permanent solution to the people of Palestine.” El-Farra also said, “Today, none of us are here for condolences. We’re not here for apologies, we’re here for immediate action. We have demonstrated that every minute signifies the loss of a life, the starvation of a child. And so, we need an immediate and permanent, not temporary, permanent ceasefire.”
