Dr. Ahmad Yousaf, a pediatrician from Arkansas who volunteered in the besieged coastal enclave for three weeks, joined the movement on the convention’s sidelines this week, alongside about a dozen other medical professionals who treated the wounded in Gaza’s devastated hospitals.

• Yousaf, who heads an intensive care unit in Arkansas, spent the better part of a month in Gaza volunteering with the nonprofit MedGlobal.

• He worked out of Al-Aqsa Hospital in the central Gazan city of Deir al-Balah, one of the few hospitals that are still operating in Gaza, even if just so.

• Among the injuries Yousaf and his colleagues treated were multiple cases of children directly shot in the head by snipers. Many of the wounded were treated in makeshift conditions in the overcrowded Al-Aqsa Hospital amid acute shortages of badly needed medical supplies that continue to be restricted by Israel.

• As patients continued to pour in day after day, Yousaf said he felt the need to shift his role solely from a medical professional to a witness, so that the stories of suffering Palestinians would not go unheard.

• Yousaf said Israeli forces prevented him from bringing medical equipment into Gaza that would have been critical in providing care to patients suffering from some of the worst trauma imaginable, including ultrasound machines, antibiotics, sedatives, gauze and catheters.
