[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=2) Why aren't Palestinians the ones speaking for our cause?

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=11) I remember the silence of the woman brought into the hospital injured, staring blankly and unable to speak.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=23) She had given birth one week earlier.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=32) She couldn't find her seven-day-old baby.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=35) Both her baby and her toddler were trapped under the rubble.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=40) There are no words that can adequately convey the pain and depravity of this aggression.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=46) There are no words. Why are we not there and able to speak?

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=51) The Palestinian people, the people in Gaza.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=57) I want the whole world to know that I'm a human being.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=59) At the end, I'm not pen on paper.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=64) I'm not anonymous. I'm a human being created by God.

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=70) Times over the past decade, most recently as part of emergency medical team working in a hospital. Our Palestinian colleagues are not here today because the systems we currently exist in don't recognize the value of Palestinian life.

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=84) Hundreds of healthcare workers have been held in Israeli captivity.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=87) At least four have been killed while in detention.

[1:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=89) Their bodies are still being held. Every single healthcare worker I met in Gaza has lost family, has lost friends, have, has lost, has lost colleagues.

[1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1TJ60jtor9UB/en/gaza-s-humanitarian-crisis-palestinian-voices-and-healthcare-workers?t=99) Every single healthcare worker I met has been displaced multiple times, has been forced out of the hospitals where they work.
