Washington, July 26 (RHC)-- A group of 45 U.S. doctors, surgeons and nurses who have volunteered in Gaza since October 7 have written an open letter to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, demanding an immediate ceasefire and an international arms embargo of Israel. 

The group of health workers includes evidence of a much higher death toll than is usually cited: more than 92,000 people, which represents over 4% of Gaza’s population.  

They write: “With only marginal exceptions, everyone in Gaza is sick, injured, or both.  Israel’s continued, repeated displacement of the malnourished and sick population of Gaza, half of whom are children, to areas with no running water or even toilets available is absolutely shocking.”

In related news, CNN has found Israel is blocking physicians with Palestinian heritage from entering Gaza as part of international humanitarian missions.
