Doctors Against Genocide Weekly Update
“Left Behind and Under Fire: Disability, Genocide, and the Relentless Assault on Gaza Medics!
join Doctors Against Genocide for a vital conversation at the intersection of disability justice and genocide.
As we mark Disability Pride Month, we are honored to welcome:
Ali Tuaima, Executive Director
Rami Ghboun, Projects Manager
from Gaza Forum Association for the Visually Impaired - Ali and Rami will present findings from their new study on the escalating crisis facing Gaza’s blind and visually impaired community, one of the most abandoned and underserved populations amid the ongoing genocide.
As always, we will hear from our medical colleagues on the ground in Gaza, who will speak to the relentless violent fatal attacks on healthcare workers, the collapse of the medical system, and the urgent need for international action.
Disability is not invisible in war. And silence from the U.S. disability establishment is complicity.
Join us as we expose the structural abandonment of Gaza’s disabled communities and call for accountability from humanitarian agencies and disability institutions alike.

Our Call to Action: Bread Not Bombs Let The Children Eat
We call on POTUS and Elected Officials in the USA and Canada to:
• Enforce a permanent ceasefire,
• End the Deliberate Starvation and allow unrestricted humanitarian access
• Investigate and prosecute the use of starvation as a weapon
• Invoke the Uniting for Peace resolution to bypass Security Council paralysis and end the genocide now.
