A Calgary doctor is seeking support from the federal government and is searching for other medical professionals willing to go to Gaza with him.
Dr. Mohamed Soliman doesn’t have any connection to people in Gaza – what he does have is empathy and a desire to help.
“As a physician activist, the only thing I can do is to be there and provide health care,” said Dr. Mukarram Zaidi, chair of Think for Actions, a Calgary-based national non-profit think tank, focused on the professional development of youth.Zaidi has written to federal politicians requesting that Canadian authorities allow him and other health-care professionals access to the medical supplies they need to offer help.
“You need to do the right thing for the right reasons. You just can’t sit quietly and let things unfold,” Zaidi said. Doctor’s Without Borders says they are having extreme difficulties delivering aid and providing health care due to the insecurity and the unpredictability of the bombardments.Click to share quote on Twitter: MSF's response in Gaza amidst challenging conditionsIn a statement, GAC said the funding will help provide food, water, emergency medical assistance, protection services and other life-saving assistance, while ensuring that none of it goes to Hamas.
