Kanadische Ärzte, die im Gazastreifen dienten, fordern Waffenembargo, Sanktionen gegen Israel

>As a surgeon, I cannot treat a genocide. As doctors, we cannot stop a famine. So we demand that the Canadian government take meaningful action

Shameful our leaders let things get this bad. Children always starve first, something every person responsible for this blockade is well aware of.

Canadian doctors volunteering in Gaza have delivered heart-wrenching stories nearly every month since the genocide began

From January 2024: [Ontario surgeon back from medical mission says his ‚heart and soul‘ remain with children in Gaza](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/doctor-gaza-mission-1.7077351)

> Al-Kassem said he would treat upwards of 30 people each day, **at least half of whom were children, some as young as two. Many suffered head trauma, shrapnel in the chest and abdomen, or injuries to their arms and legs that required surgery.**

> He’d stitch up patients‘ wounds on the floor without having any bed or painkillers to offer. After quick assessments, **the doctors would have to decide who to try to save with their limited resources**, he said.

February 2024: [Sanctioned U of O doctor describes harrowing conditions in Rafah after humanitarian trip](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/university-ottawa-doctor-gaza-palestine-yipeng-ge-1.7126299)

> Ge said the patients he met were „facing starvation, malnutrition, bacterial infections of the skin [and] the lungs that we couldn’t treat with antibiotics because there were none.“

> Colleagues from the World Health Organization recommended measuring the circumference of a child’s upper arm to detect malnutrition, but Ge said his team didn’t have a measuring tape so he used his own hand.

> **”I wrapped my index finger and my thumb around the entirety of a child’s upper arm and their lower leg. And this child was nine or 10 years old,“ he said.**

> But [Palestinian medical workers], they are working on a daily basis on the most horrific, explosive trauma that you’ve ever seen. They’re doing sometimes 14, 15 amputations, mostly on children, per day, and they’ve been doing it for six months now.

> I had one girl who basically lost all her siblings, 8-year-old beautiful girl, lost her siblings. She came in for a leg fracture, was under the rubble for 12 hours. And her mother died, all her siblings gone. And all her family [were] gone, her aunts and uncles. As you know, it’s a generational killing, like slaughter. Generations. There’s about 2,000 families that have been erased now completely, are gone.

Even now, we’re seeing “threats” of sanctions from Carney? The “possibility” that international law has been violated? This is utter inhumanity.

We need to be doing far, FAR more. History will not be kind to Canada regardless on this issue but we can (and must) do more at this point.

Also Pierre Polieve and the other Conservatives who criticized Carney’s statement with the UK and France, and who refuse to acknowledge that Israel is doing anything wrong should be incredibly ashamed of themselves. Their stance is as extreme as it gets. Heck, even Trump has acknowledged that Israel should be letting aid in.
