We speak with Dr. Seema Jilani, a pediatrician who spent two weeks in Central Gaza volunteering in the Al-Aqsa Hospital emergency room. "I saw the fall of a hospital before my very own eyes," says Jilani, who shares recorded voice notes from her time in the besieged territory while trying to save children in a health system collapsing under Israeli pressure and bombing. "I have never treated this many war-wounded children in my career." Finally, Jilani shares why she continues to serve as a doctor in war zones with the International Rescue Committee. "It is the absolute honor of my life to serve the people of Gaza," she says. "It is all of our responsibility to consider those orphans, consider those families who are completely bereft of any and all human dignity that has been taken from them. … Their fate will sit with us."
