The American doctor who helped save Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s life 20 years ago said from Gaza that his life and the lives of other doctors are at risk if they try to leave the compound where they are trapped. “We cannot leave. If we leave, it’s basically we were told it’s at our own risk,” Dr. Adam Hamawy, who is in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, said by video call. “So if we leave the compound of the hospital, then we become legitimate targets.
” More than 35,000 people in Gaza are dead, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza, in the war, which began after Hamas carried out terrorist attacks against Israel that killed more than 1,200. In the sense that Hamawy and other doctors cannot leave without becoming targets in the war, “yes, we are trapped,” he said. “What helps in that sense is we’ve got something to do,” Hamawy said, including operating on and caring for people.
