Dr. Ahmad Yousaf, AR pediatrician, tomorrow Thurs., 5:30
You are invited to attend a testimonial event where Dr. Ahmad Yousaf, an
Arkansas pediatrician and the director of an intensive care unit in Little
Rock, will share his experiences providing emergency medical care during the
genocide in Gaza at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah earlier this year. The event will take place this Thursday,
November 14th, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the University of
Arkansas, Bell Auditorium 2282. The testimonial event is hosted by Students
for Justice in Palestine UARK, and food and drinks will be provided by a local
Palestinian restaurant owner. In an
interview with Al Jazeera, Dr. Yousaf explained that the Israeli occupation
prevented him from bringing suitcases of medical supplies into Gaza. He
stressed that the devastation he witnessed couldn’t fully be captured in a
video or interview. Here are links to his interviews with the New York Times
and Ozarks At Large. https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/middleeast/100000009577656/gaza-doctor-hospitals.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/10/world/middleeast/gaza-al-aqsa-hospital-children.htmlhttps://www.kuaf.com/show/ozarks-at-large/2024-08-20/three-weeks-in-al-aqsa-a-doctors-view-of-the-gaza-crisis
