GAZA:DOCTORS UNDER ATTACK
Join us in person for an eye-opening event that dives deep into the struggles and bravery of medical professionals in Gaza. Doctors under attack is not just a story—it's a powerful reality they face every day. Don't miss this chance to hear firsthand accounts, ask questions, and connect with a community that cares. Come be part of the conversation and stand in solidarity with those risking it all to save lives.
Joining us will be Dr Abdulghani Basith in person who will talk about his experiences in working in Gaza, followed by Dr Yipeng Ge who also has first hand experience in working in Gaza under the Occupation forces.
Dr Abdulghani Basith is an emergency physician in Toronto and a faculty member at The Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. He is a co-founder of the Critical Drugs Coalition, a group of pharmaceutical experts, physicians and others working to alleviating future drug shortages in Canada. Today Dr Abdulghani Basith will be taking about his medical mission to Gaza.
Dr. Yipeng Ge is a primary care physician and public health practitioner based on the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg. In his clinical practice, he works in family medicine practice and refugee health at a community health centre. He has worked on and studied the structural and colonial determinants of health in both the settler colonial contexts of so-called Canada and occupied Palestine. Having witnessed the atrocities in Gaza firsthand as a humanitarian medical volunteer, Dr. Ge leverages his direct experiences to raise awareness and educate the Canadian public about global injustices.
