An American surgeon’s dire warning from Gaza: ‘We’re leveling a whole society’

Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is an American trauma surgeon who has served in multiple volunteer medical delegations to war zones around the world, including delegations to Ukraine and Gaza. In this urgent episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Dr. Sidwha about the unfathomable carnage of Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. “70% of structures in the Gaza Strip, human-built things, have been destroyed. That didn't happen with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This is insane. We're just leveling a whole society for the sake of doing it.”Guest:Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in California. He is also a humanitarian surgeon, having worked most extensively in Palestine, but also in Ukraine, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Burkina Faso. Dr. Sidhwa most recently volunteered at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, from March 25-April 8, 2024 with the World Health Organization, and again from March 3-April 1, 2025 with American NGO MedGlobal.Additional resources:Mark Perlmutter & Feroze Sidhwa, Politico, “We volunteered at a Gaza hospital.
