Patients and staff at Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital have evacuated, waving white flags in the streets of Gaza.

At Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, an OB-GYN Grand Rounds seminar presentation was recently canceled after the speaker, Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi, voiced solidarity with Palestinian people on social media.
