Washington, August 4 (RHC)-- In the United States, as the Democratic National Convention kicked off its virtual roll call vote, the Uncommitted National Movement is calling on the Democratic Party to allow Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, who volunteered in Gaza, to take the stage at the DNC later this month. 

Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a pediatric intensive care doctor, has been outspoken about the horrors she witnessed treating war victims in Gaza.  She is one of 30 delegates representing the Uncommitted Movement after its hugely successful campaign got over 700,000 primary voters to cast ballots for “uncommitted” instead of Joe Biden to protest U.S. support for Israel’s war. 

Dr. Haj-Hassan appeared on Democracy Now! in March after she returned from two weeks in Gaza.  “This is not a humanitarian crisis.  This is the worst of what humanity is capable of, and it’s entirely all man-made.  And when you witness it firsthand, it’s an unbearable injustice.”
