As a healthcare professional, seeing this picture has taken a heavy toll on my spirit. Where is justice in this world?
The image above is a young boy in Gaza holding a bag of blood being transfused into his wounded mother, a victim of Israeli airstrikes. This image will stay with me forever. It is heartbreaking.
Being a child or a woman in Gaza today seems to carry an unbearable risk. From what we have been seeing and reading every day, it is clear that life there is marked by constant danger and deep suffering. Yes, there are casualties on both sides, but one must ask: Why the relentless bombing? Why the resistance to peace?
I’m so disturbed by this image. And the worst part is, I can’t unsee it.
