“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

He invested in the youth and put resources in the community. It’s scientifically proven if you do that crime goes down.

Can't lie... Some women are irreplaceable. Like the thing she'll do for you and the feeling she had and showed you.. you may never experience that again.

Sidechicks do too much sometimes because why are you viewing my girl’s stories?

[Kiraaa @Rosaria__lxm]

I heard a girl saying "If she has to ask for flowers she doesn't want them anymore" but that really goes for everything wether it be love, attention or appreciation, bc it's no longer coming from you it's coming from me. Every woman's love language is not having to ask for !!

Nurse Jennifer Melle had to deal with a 6 foot transgender woman, a convicted paedophile, who was shackled by two prison officers. He later abusively called her the N-word 3 times.

She later "inadvertently" referred to him as "mister" & "he", despite a 12-year unblemished career St George's, Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust @geshNHS she has been disciplined.

She has been judged as a potential risk to the public, now fears losing her job. The Nursing and Midwifery Council @nmcnews is looking into her fitness to practise because she "referred to a patient in a manner inconsistent with their gender identity".

Ms Melle is suing the hospital trust for harassment, discrimination & human rights breaches with the help of Christian @CConcern.

Good luck, she should win.
