Bad Faith - Episode 395 Promo – Unspeakable

Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care physician who volunteered at the Gaza European Hospital near Khan Yunis earlier this spring. Last month, he and a fellow volunteer wrote an op-ed in Politico detailing their experience. Somehow, despite the unspeakable images out of Gaza we’ve all been watching for the better part of a year, their account managed to capture unique horrors endemic to this genocide. Dr. Sidwa joins Bad Faith to elaborate on what he saw and how it differs even from other conflict zones he’s volunteered in over the years, including Ukraine.
