Protection
Medical workers are not targets
Hospitals, ambulances, and the people who staff them must be protected under international humanitarian law. Attacking them is not collateral damage; it is the destruction of a society's last safety net.
Advocacy
A doctor's job is to witness — and then to speak.
When you have seen what happens to medicine in a war zone, silence is not neutrality. It is complicity. These are the positions Dr. Ahmad has carried from the hospital floor to the United Nations.
What he stands for
Positions, drawn from his public statements.
Access
Humanitarian access, unhindered
Aid and medical relief must reach civilians without obstruction. Blocking food, fuel, and medical supplies is a collective punishment that falls first on the sick and the wounded.
Witness
The duty to tell the truth
A physician who has worked inside a sealed-off hospital owes the public an honest account of what they saw. Testimony is part of the work.
On the floor of the UN
Silence in the face of what I have seen would be the one choice I could not live with as a physician.
Dr. Thaer Ahmad · UN Palestinian Rights Committee, 2024
Act now
The first act of advocacy is to refuse to look away. The next four take five minutes.
Fund medical relief on the ground
The organizations delivering care in Gaza and across the region. Every dollar buys supplies, fuel, and the salary of a local health worker still showing up.
