It's hard not to feel helpless and hopeless about the endless suffering in Gaza, the daily deaths of children seeking food as they starve.
This is a chilling image of a selfless trauma physician, originally from Saskatchewan, who has willingly put herself in harm's way to save the lives of starving children and others injured people in Gaza. These people are often suffering from terrible wounds incurred when they were seeking food aid.
“What I’m living through right now is the worst thing I’ve ever experienced,” says Dr. Deidre Nunan (far right), an orthopedic surgeon who is just finishing work near Khan Younis, Gaza. (Photo courtesy of Deidre Nunan)
It's hard to imagine how Dr. Nunan finds the courage and strength to return to this scene of horror again and again. Many of the medical personnel work without food and sleep to the point that they collapse. Her witness should encourage all of us to care about what is happening there and to provide support through our dollars and prayers.
Here are links to a CBC Radio Saskatchewan interview from last month and an article in the United Church magazine, Broadview from April this year.
