Post "Ceasefire" Gaza with Dr. Nahreen Ahmed
Q: What is it like in Gaza now post ceasefire?
Despite a proclaimed ceasefire, conditions in Gaza have deteriorated, with severe shortages of medical supplies and rising waterborne diseases. The morale of healthcare workers is low as they face continuing challenges and significant trauma.
Dr. Thaer Ahmad on Gaza and Walking Out of a Meeting with Biden
Q: Can you walk me through your experience walking out of the meeting with President Biden?
I felt that the meeting would be a publicity stunt and needed to send a strong message about U.S. policy in Gaza, so I walked out.
Dr. Thaer Ahmad on Gaza and Walking Out of a Meeting with Biden
Q: What stood out to you most during your humanitarian work in Gaza?
The unique and horrific aspect of being locked into an area without a safe zone as civilians faced heavy weaponry.
How Much Does it Cost to End Global Poverty with Joshua Blumenstock
Q: How did you get interested in this line of work?
My interest grew from spending time in places with severe poverty, witnessing how it limits opportunities for people.
